Transliteration

Am yaqooloona bihee jinnnah; bal jaaa'ahum bilhaqqi wa aksaruhum lil haqqi kaarihoon

Translation

Or do they say, "In him is madness?" Rather, he brought them the truth, but most of them, to the truth, are averse.

Verse interpretation (Tafsir)

Rather, do they say, “He is insane!”? Surely, they have lied. Rather, the truth has come to them, undisputably from Allah. The majority of them dislike the truth, hating it due to the jealousy within themselves and fanaticism over their falsehood.
