شِرِّيرٌ is how you say “wicked” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
ولكن تصده عن الحق شهوات النفس، ووساوس الشيطان، ومجالسة الأشرار، وطول الأمل، وحب الدنيا
But desires of the self, whispers of Satan, keeping company with the wicked, long hopes, and love of the world divert it from the truth.
الأَشْرَارِ — the wicked. The completing half of 'company of the wicked', so it carries the possessive case and the 'the' that defines the phrase. It is a plural naming the bad company; set beside the first noun with no word for 'of', it tells whom the company is with.
