إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

Tafsir
Ibn Kathīr (abridged)
The Response of Shu`ayb's People, Their Disbelief in Him and the coming of the Punishment upon Them
Allah tells us how his people responded, and how it was like the response of Thamud to their Messenger -- for they were of like mind -- when they said:
إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ الْمُسَحَّرِينَ
(You are only one of those bewitched!) meaning, `you are one of those who are affected by witchcraft.'
وَمَآ أَنتَ إِلاَّ بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُنَا وَإِن نَّظُنُّكَ لَمِنَ الْكَـذِبِينَ
(You are but a human being like us and verily, we think that you are one of the liars!) means, `we think you are deliberately lying to us in what you say, and Allah has not sent you to us.'
