Footnotes
1 - In this expression is also a subtle allusion to the leaders of the Quraysh, who considered themselves to be great minds.
Or do their faculties of understanding prompt them to [say] this?, their saying to him: [you are either] a sorcerer, a poet, a soothsayer or a madman, in other words, they do not [in reality] prompt them to [say] this.
