An even longer list of such demands from the disbelievers is mentioned in Surah Bani Isra'il (90 to 93).
➌ { وَ قَالَ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ اِنْ تَتَّبِعُوْنَ اِلَّا رَجُلًا مَّسْحُوْرًا :} This is the same thing Pharaoh said to Musa (peace be upon him). See Bani Isra'il (101).

[12] This Messenger should at least have been free from the worry of livelihood. If he had been a chief and the owner of treasures, then people themselves would have desired to meet him; then he would have granted permission to whomever he wished, otherwise not, and would have lived in grandeur. And if he is not the owner of treasures, then at least he should have been the owner of a garden from which his livelihood could be maintained.

According to the Arabs, There Are Three Forms of Being Bewitched:
By a bewitched person is meant a mad person. Among the Arabs, three causes of madness were understood. First, that a person has come under the shadow of a jinn or ghost. Second, that someone has shown disrespect to a deity, an idol, a goddess or god, or any of their elders, and has been struck by their wrath. And third, that a sorcerer has cast a spell on him. The disbelievers of Makkah would, from time to time, accuse you of all three types; at this place, the third type is mentioned.
