أَحَدُهُمَا أَنْ يَجْعَلَ لِلَّهِ نِدًّا وَيَعْبُدَ غَيْرَهُ مِنْ حَجَرٍ أَوْ شَجَرٍ أَوْ شَمْسٍ أَوْ قَمَرٍ أَوْ نَبِيٍّ أَوْ شَيْخٍ أَوْ نَجْمٍ أَوْ مَلَكٍ أَوْ غَيْرِ ذَلِكَ،
One of them is to set up for Allah an equal and worship something else, such as a stone, tree, sun, moon, prophet, saint, star, angel, or anything else.
وَيَعْبُدَ — and worship. A fused 'and' plus a present-tense verb in the 'aim' shape carried over from the earlier particle, 'and worships', with its 'he' subject built in. The shape ties it into the same defining phrase.
