The Holy Quran 51:52 — Surah Adh-Dhariyat

Arabic text

كَذَٰلِكَ مَآ أَتَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا قَالُوا۟ سَاحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ

Translation

In a like manner, (just as the Mushrikeen of Makkah opposed Rasulullaah ﷺ) whenever a Rasool came to those before them, they (rejected his message and) said that he is a magician or a madman.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Every prophet was called a sorcerer: that is, if these deniers do not pay heed to such a clear warning and admonition, do not grieve. To whatever disbelieving nations before them any messenger came, they likewise laughed off his counsels, calling him a sorcerer or a madman.
