“He is a man possessed (by the jinni)... So, observe him for a while.”
Sayyed Abbas Sadr-Ameli
He is just a man in whom is a madness, so bear with him for a while
Al-muntakhab fi tafsir al-Qur'an al-Karim
"Indeed", they continued, "he is but a man ruinously imprudent, possessed or insane. Watch him for sometime with patience, his madness may subside or else he would deserve destruction"
So the leaders of those who did not believe from among his people said, "He is no more than a man like yourselves, he intends to achieve superiority over you, and had Allah willed He would have sent down angels, We have not heard this among our ancient forefathers.
