This is a translation of Tafsīr as-Saʿdī as IslamHouse.com publishes it at saadi.islamenc.com, read from that site’s pages. The site does not say who translated it or which printed edition it follows, and states no terms for taking its text, so the right to show it is not verified. Nobody has compared it with a printed book, and no scholar has reviewed it. Each passage stands beside the verses it comments on, which are the Qur’ān text of Tanzil, shown as it is there; a verse the site gives no commentary of its own stands with the passage before it, and the index names each such verse. Sabīl did not write or translate any of it.

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْفِيلِ 1 أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِى تَضْلِيلٍ 2 وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ 3 تَرْمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٍ مِّن سِجِّيلٍ 4 فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَّأْكُولٍۭ 5
{1 - 5} Yaani: Je, hukuona katika uweza wa Mwenyezi Mungu, na ukuu wa jambo lake, na rehema zake kwa waja wake, na ushahidi wa upweke wake, na ukweli wa Mtume wake [Muhammad] - rehema na amani zimfikie - kile ambacho Mwenyezi Mungu aliwafanyia watu wa tembo, ambao waliifanyia njama Nyumba yake Takatifu, na wakataka kuiharibu. Kwa hivyo wakajitayarisha kwa ajili ya hayo, na wakachukua pamoja nao tembo kwenda kuibomoa, wakaja na kundi ambalo Waarabu hawakuwa na uwezo wa kukabiliana nalo kutoka Uhabeshi na Yemeni. Walipofika karibu na Makka - na Waarabu hawakuwa na ulinzi, na watu wa Makka wakaondoka Makka kwa kujihofia nafsi zao kwa sababu yao, basi Mwenyezi Mungu akawatumia ndege makundi kwa makundi, huku wakibeba mawe ya udongo yaliyotiwa moto kutoka Motoni, wakawatupia hayo, na yakawafuatilia wa mbali wao na wa karibu wao, kwa hivyo wakafa na kuzimia, na wakawa kama majani yaliyoliwa, na Mwenyezi Mungu akawatosheleza watu wa Makka kutokana na maovu yao, na akazirudisha njama zao kooni mwao, na kisa chao hiki kinajulikana sana, na huo ndio mwaka aliozaliwa Mtume wa Mwenyezi Mungu – rehema na amani ziwe juu yake – na hilo likawa miongoni mwa dalili za wito wake na ushahidi wa ujumbe wake. Basi sifa njema na shukrani ni za Mwenyezi Mungu.
