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.

“Bali tutafuata tuliyowakuta nayo baba zetu.” Basi wakatosheka tu na kuwafuata baba zao, na wakaacha kuwafuata Manabii, pamoja na kwamba ndio wajinga kuliko watu wote, na wapotofu wao zaidi. Na hii dhana potofu inayotumika kuikataa haki ni dhaifu mno. Na hii ni dalili juu ya kukengeuka kwao kutoka kwenye haki, na kutoitaka kwao, na kutokuwa kwao na uadilifu. Na lau kuwa wangeongoka kwenye uwongofu wao, na nia yao ikawa nzuri, basi kwa hakika ingelikuwa haki ndiyo makusudio yao. Na mwenye kuifanya haki kuwa ndiyo lengo lake, na akapima baina yake na vinginevyo, kwa hakika haki itambainikia bila shaka yoyote, na ataifuata ikiwa yeye ni mwadilifu. Kisha Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu akasema,
