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.

يَـٰزَكَرِيَّآ إِنَّا نُبَشِّرُكَ بِغُلَـٰمٍ ٱسْمُهُۥ يَحْيَىٰ لَمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُۥ مِن قَبْلُ سَمِيًّا 7
{7} Yaani, Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu alimpa bishara njema kupitia Malaika kuhusu kuzaliwa kwa Yahya, na Mwenyezi Mungu mwenyewe ndiye aliyempa jina la Yahya, nalo lilikuwa jina lanalolingana na yule aliyeitwa kwalo. Yaani, atakuwa na uhai kwa kihisia, ndiyo iwe neema hivyo imetimia sawasawa. Na kwamba pia ataishi usio kuwa wa kihisia ambao ni uhai wa moyo na roho kwa wahyi, elimu na Dini. "Hatujapata kumpa jina hilo yeyote kabla yake." Na pia maana yake inaweza kuwa: Hatukuwahi kumfanya yeyote kuwa mfano wake na sawa naye. Ndiyo hiyo iwe ni bishara njema hukusu ukamilifu wake na kusifika kwake kwa sifa nzuri, na kwamba anawashinda waliokuwa kabla yake. Lakini kulingana na maana hii, ujumla huu lazima atolewe ndani yake Ibrahim, Musa, na Nuhu amani iwe juu yao na mfano wao, miongoni mwa wale ambao ni bora zaidi ya Yahya bila shaka yoyote.
