Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Accusation that the Prophet was a Madman and Demands for Him to bring down AngelsAllah tells us about the disbelief, arrogance and stubbornness of the disbelievers as reflected in their words:يأَيُّهَا الَّذِى نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ الذِّكْرُ(O you (Muhammad) to whom the Dhikr (the Qur'an) has been revealed!) i.e., the one who claims to receive it.إِنَّكَ لَمَجْنُونٌ(Verily, you are a mad man!) i.e., by your invitation to us to follow you and leave the way of our forefathers.
