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.

قَالُوا۟ يَـٰصَـٰلِحُ قَدْ كُنتَ فِينَا مَرْجُوًّا قَبْلَ هَـٰذَآ ۖ أَتَنْهَىٰنَآ أَن نَّعْبُدَ مَا يَعْبُدُ ءَابَآؤُنَا وَإِنَّنَا لَفِى شَكٍّ مِّمَّا تَدْعُونَآ إِلَيْهِ مُرِيبٍ 62
{62} Basi Nabii wao Saleh amani iwe juu yake alipowaamrisha na akawahimiza wamkusudie Mwenyezi Mungu peke yake, wakaukataa wito wake huo, na wakaukabili kuukabili kubaya zaidi. Na "Wakasema: Ewe Saleh! Hakika kabla ya haya ulikuwa unatarajiwa heri kwetu." Yaani, tulikuwa tukikutarajia na kuwa na matumaini nawe kwamba una akili na manufaa. Na huu ni ushahidi kutoka kwao kwa Nabii wao Saleh kwamba hakuacha kujulikana kwa tabia njema na maadili ya hali ya juu, na kwamba yeye ni miongoni mwa walio bora zaidi wa kaumu yake, lakini alipowajia na jambo hili ambalo halikukubaliana na matamanio yao maovu. Wakasema maneno haya ambayo makusudio yake ni kwamba wewe hakika ulikuwa mkamilifu, na sasa umeyafelisha maoni yetu kuhusiana nawe, na umekuwa katika hali ambayo hakuna heri yoyote inayotarajiwa kutoka kwako. Na dhambi yake ni yale waliyosema juu yake, [ambayo ni kauli yao]: "Je unatukataza kuwaabudu wale ambao baba zetu walikuwa wakiwaabudu?" Na kulingana na madai yao ni kwamba hilo ni miongoni mwa doa kubwa zaidi kwa Saleh. Vipi alikashifu akili zao na akili za baba zao wapotovu? Na vipi anawakataza kuwaabudu wale ambao hawanufaishii, wala hawadhuru, wala hawasaidii kitu, miongoni mwa mawe, na miti, na mfano wake, na akawaamrisha kumfanyia dini Mwenyezi Mungu tu, Mola wao Mlezi ambaye neema zake juu yao hazijaacha kufuatana, na kuteremka kwa wema wake juu yao kwa daima, na ambaye hakuna neema yoyote isipokuwa ni kutoka kwake, wala hakuna yeyote anayewazuia kutokana na mabaya isipokuwa Yeye? "Na hakika sisi tuna shaka na wasiwasi kwa hayo unayotuitia." Yaani, bado tuko katika shaka juu ya yale uliyotulingania. Nayo ni shaka inayotia kusitasita kukubwa mioyoni mwetu.
