( قال الملأ الذين كفروا من قومه إنا لنراك ) يا هود ، ( في سفاهة ) في حمق وجهالة ، قال ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما : تدعونا إلى دين لا نعرفه ، ( وإنا لنظنك من الكاذبين ) أنك رسول الله إلينا .
The leaders and notables among his people who disbelieved in Allah and rejected His messenger said: Indeed we only think you O Hūd as someone foolish and backward, calling us to worship Allah alone, and to leave the worship of our idols. In fact we are certain that you are a liar in claiming that you have been sent by Allah!'
