﴿ فَقَالُوٓا۟ أَبَشَرًۭا مِّنَّا وَٰحِدًۭا نَّتَّبِعُهُۥٓ إِنَّآ إِذًۭا لَّفِى ضَلَٰلٍۢ وَسُعُرٍ ﴾

“and they said: “Are we to follow one single mortal, one from among ourselves? In that case, behold, we would certainly sink into error and folly!”

(For they said: Is it a mortal man) he is a human being like us, (alone among us, that we are to follow) his matter and religion? (Then) if we follow him (indeed we should fall into error) in manifest error (and madness) tiredness and toil.
