Commentary
And when what has occurred is the informing of the message and the warning against disobedience, for it leads to misguidance, until he concluded that with the indication of the expression of the nature that His punishment, glorified and exalted is He, is great, and does not escape from it the small or the large. They responded to him by disparaging the message first, and by belittling the warning second, by saying, 'Indeed, you are but one of the bewitched.' That is, those who have repeated their sorcery time after time until they have become confused, so their words are without order, or from those who are influenced by food and drink, as has been mentioned regarding صالح, blessings be upon him, meaning: you are far from being suitable for the message.
