Ibn Abbas Commentary

(Have they not bethought them) among themselves that Muhammad (pbuh) was not a sorcerer, soothsayer or a madman. Then Allah, Exalted is He, said: ((that) there is no madness) there is no touch of madness whatsoever (in their comrade) in their Prophet? (He is but a plain warner) and Messenger who explains to them in a language they understand.
