Commentary
So it was as if it was said: What is this speech that he is saying? It was said: It is a lie; then they confined his matter to lying and said: 'Indeed, he is nothing but' and they incited him to abandon what he addressed them with by their saying: 'A man has fabricated' meaning he deliberately attributed to Allah, the Most High, 'a lie.' And it is not appropriate for a man to do such a thing, or he is alone, meaning no one should pay attention to him, 'and we are not believers in him' meaning we do not affirm what he informs us of regarding resurrection and messengership.
