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.

وَفِى ٱلْأَرْضِ قِطَعٌ مُّتَجَـٰوِرَٰتٌ وَجَنَّـٰتٌ مِّنْ أَعْنَـٰبٍ وَزَرْعٌ وَنَخِيلٌ صِنْوَانٌ وَغَيْرُ صِنْوَانٍ يُسْقَىٰ بِمَآءٍ وَٰحِدٍ وَنُفَضِّلُ بَعْضَهَا عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ فِى ٱلْأُكُلِ ۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَـٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ 4
{4} "Na" miongoni mwa ishara za ukamilifu wa uwezo wake na ufundi wake wa hali ya juu zaidi ni kwamba alifanya "katika ardhi vimo vipande vilivyokaribiana na zipo bustani;" ambayo ndani yake kuna kila aina ya miti ya mizabibu, na mitende, na mimea na visivyokuwa hivyo, na mitende, ambayo baadhi yake ni "yenye kuchipua kwenye shina moja na isiyochipua kwenye shina moja" kwa namna kwamba kila mti uko kivyake, na yote "inanyweshwa katika maji yale yale" na ardhi yake ni moja. "Na tunaifanya baadhi yao kuwa bora kuliko mengine katika kula" katika rangi, ladha, manufaa, na raha. Kwa hivyo, hii ardhi ni nzuri inaotesha malisho, nyasi nyingi, miti na mimea, na karibu yake kuna ardhi ambayo haioteshi malisho wala haishikilii maji, na hii nyingine inashikilia maji lakini haioti malisho. Na hii nyingine inaotesha [mimea na] miti lakini haioti malisho. Na haya matunda ni matamu na haya ni machungu na haya ni kati ya hayo. Basi je, utofauti huu ni yenyewe tu ndani yake na maumbile yake, au hilo ni kwa sababu ya majaliwa ya Mwenye nguvu, Mwingi wa kurehemu? "Hakika katika hayo zimo ishara kwa kaumu wanaotia mambo akilini." Yaani, kaumu wenye akili zinazowaongoza kwenye yale yanayowafaa na kuwaongoza katika yale yanayowafanya kunyooka na kuyafahamu maamrisho ya Mwenyezi Mungu na makatazo yake. Na ama wale wanaopeana mgongo na wala hawatumii akili zao, wao wanatangatanga na ni vipofu katika giza mbalimbali, na wanasitasita katika upotovu wao. Hawawezi kuongoka kufikia njia ya kwenda kwa Mola wao Mlezi, wala hawawezi kuelewa neno lake lolote.
