Wama sahibukum bimajnoon (surah Takwir: 22)

Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(81:22) (O people of Makkah), your companion *18 is not mad;

Wa maa saahibukum bimajnoon

*18) "Your Companion": the Holy Messenger of Allah (upon whom be peace). Here, making mention of the Holy Prophet as the companion of the people of Makkah, they have been made to realize that the Holy Prophet was no.stranger for them. He was not an outsider but a man of their own clan and tribe; he had lived his whole life among them; even their children knew that he was a very wise man. They should not be so shameless as to call such a man a mad man. (For further explanation, see E.N.'s 2, 3 of An-Najm).
