فَظَهَرَ أَنَّ مَنْ أَنْكَرَ كَوْنَهُ رَسُولًا نَبِيًّا فَقَدْ قَدَحَ بِاللَّهِ وَنَقَصَهُ وَنَسَبَهُ إِلَى الْجَهْلِ وَالْعَجْزِ وَالسَّفَهِ
It became clear that whoever denies his being a Messenger and Prophet has indeed defamed God, diminished Him, and attributed ignorance, inability, and folly to Him.
وَالسَّفَهِ — and folly. The wa- adds a third attributed fault, a noun carrying 'the', 'and folly', in the prepositional form by sharing the earlier preposition. It closes the list of faults wrongly ascribed to God.
