وَإِن يَكَادُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَيُزْلِقُونَكَ بِأَبْصَـٰرِهِمْ لَمَّا سَمِعُوا۟ ٱلذِّكْرَ وَيَقُولُونَ إِنَّهُۥ لَمَجْنُونٌ
Wain yak a du alla th eena kafaroo layuzliqoonaka biab sa rihim lamm a samiAAoo a l thth ikra wayaqooloona innahu lamajnoon un
Hence, [be patient,] even though they who are bent on denying the truth would all but kill thee with their eyes whenever they hear this reminder, and [though] they say, "[As for Muhammad,] behold, most surely he is a madman!"
  - Mohammad Asad
The unbelievers would almost trip you up with their eyes when they hear Our revelations (The Qur'an), and say: "He (Muhammad) is surely crazy."
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
The disbelievers would almost cut you down with their eyes when they hear 'you recite' the Reminder,1 and say, 'He is certainly a madman.'
  - Mustafa Khattab

 This is one of the names of the Quran.

And lo! those who disbelieve would fain disconcert thee with their eyes when they bear the Reminder, and they say: Lo! he is indeed mad;
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
And the Unbelievers would almost trip thee up with their eyes when they hear the message; and they say: "Surely he is possessed!" 5633
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Thee eyes of evil men look at a good man as if they would "eat him up", or trip him up, or disturb him from his position of stability or firmness. They use all sorts of terms of abuse-"madman" or "one possessed by an evil spirit", and so on. Cf. lxviii. 2 above, and n. 5594. But the good man is unmoved, and takes his even course. The Message of Allah is true and will endure; and it is a Message to all Creation.
