Commentary
And when they denied the message from him and restricted his matter to seeking leadership, and his leadership was for them, by this, impossible, they said: "Indeed, he is nothing but a man possessed by jinn," meaning insanity in his intention to seek superiority, which leads to his being hated and belittled, and we do not recognize for him a specific reason for it, so we will never obey him in it. "So wait for him," meaning that the judgment of his insanity causes us to command you to refrain from him, for there is no blame on a madman, "until" meaning to "a time" perhaps he will regain his senses or die.
