Simplified Tafsir
فكذَّبه أشراف قومه، وقالوا لعامتهم: إنه إنسان مثلكم لا يتميَّز عنكم بشيء، ولا يريد بقوله إلا رئاسة وفضلا عليكم، ولو شاء الله أن يرسل إلينا رسولا لأرسله من الملائكة، ما سمعنا بمثل هذا فيمَن سبقنا من آباء وأجداد. وما نوح إلا رجل به مَسٌّ من الجنون، فانتظروا حتى يُفيق، فيترك دعوته، أو يموت، فتستريحوا منه.
