The answer

Satan's partnership with humans in wealth and children manifests in various ways, and interpretations agree on the inclusiveness of the verse for every sin related to them. This includes: children born of zina (fornication/adultery), killing children, naming them with polytheistic names, Judaizing or Christianizing them, and failing to discipline them. The partnership also includes neglecting to say "Bismillah" (in the name of Allah) when eating, drinking, and during sexual intercourse. In summary, the verse encompasses all these meanings, and the interpretations of the Salaf (early Muslims) point to some of them without contradiction, rather it is a diversity of interpretations, not a contradiction.
