He is only a man who is mad. He does not understand what he himself is saying. Wait and see when soon his true reality becomes apparent to the people.
He is just a madman, so bear with him for a while7.”
[7] Perhaps he may recover from his insanity or his affair may become clear to people.
"He is only a man in whom is madness, so wait for him a while."
He is only a man in whom is a madness, so watch him for a while.
(And some said): "He is only a man possessed: wait (and have patience) with him for a time."
He is only a madman, so bear with him for a time.
Decidedly he is nothing except a man (seized) by a madness, so wait on him for a while (of time)."

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَٰلَمِينَ
It is not except a reminder to the worlds
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ ٱفْتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا وَمَا نَحْنُ لَهُۥ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ
He is not but a man who has invented a lie about Allāh, and we will not believe him."
