Tafsir: {When He gave them a good son, they ascribed partners to Him...}

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Here is a comment that confused me regarding His saying:
But when He gives them a good [child], they ascribe partners to Him concerning that which He has given themفَلَمَّا آتَاهُمَا صَالِحًا جَعَلَا لَهُ شُرَكَاءَ فِيمَا آتَاهُمَا
[Al-A'raf: 190]. It says: "Here it is said that the shirk (associating partners with Allah) occurred from them in obedience, not in worship." And I say: The correct view is that the shirk occurred from Hawwa (Eve) only, not from Adam (peace be upon him); because he was a Prophet and a Caliph, and such a thing does not befit a Prophet. And the Arabs address a single person using the dual form, and this is common and widespread in their language and conversation?

Answer:
No, that is a mistake.
They ascribed to Himجعلا له
The attribution to the two persons. This statement is a mistake regarding Adam and Hawwa, but this is minor shirk. They listened to his obedience when their love for the child overcame them, so they named him 'Abd al-Harith. This is the correct view.
Q: And here it says in a line: "He stated this explicitly in the Tafsir Fath al-Bayan, so the difficulty that perplexed the scholars in every age is resolved?"
The Shaykh: There is no perplexity.
