Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Response of Shu`ayb's People, Their Disbelief in Him and the coming of the Punishment upon ThemAllah tells us how his people responded, and how it was like the response of Thamud to their Messenger -- for they were of like mind -- when they said:إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ الْمُسَحَّرِينَ(You are only one of those bewitched!) meaning, `you are one of those who are affected by witchcraft.
