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.

قَوْلٌ مَّعْرُوفٌ وَمَغْفِرَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِّن صَدَقَةٍ يَتْبَعُهَآ أَذًى ۗ وَٱللَّهُ غَنِىٌّ حَلِيمٌ 263
{263} Mwenyezi Mungu alitaja daraja nne za ihsaan: Daraja la juu zaidi: Kutoa kunakotokana na nia njema, na aliyetoa hakukufuatisha masimbulizi wala maudhi. Kisha linafuatwa na kusema mema.

Na la tatu ni kufanya ihsani kwa kumsamehe na kutupilia mbali aliyekufanyia ubaya kwa kauli au kitendo. Na mawili haya ni bora kuliko la nne na la heri zaidi kuziliko. Nalo ni lile ambalo mwenye kutoa sadaka anafuatisha maudhi kwa aliyempa. Kwa sababu aliharibu wema wake na akafanya mema na mabaya. Basi heri tupu, hata kama ni chache, ni bora kuliko heri iliyochanganyika na shari hata kama ni nyingi. Na katika hili, kuna tahadharisho kubwa kwa anayemuudhi yule anayempa sadaka, kama wanavyofanya watu wachoyo, wapumbavu na wajinga. "Na Mwenyezi Mungu" Mtukufu "ndiye Mwenye kujitosheleza" kwa kutohitaji sadaka zao. Na pia hawahitaji waja wake wote "Mpole" pamoja na ukamilifu wa kujitosheleza kwake, na wasaa (wingi) wa vipawa vyake. Anawafanyia upole waasi, na wala hawaharakishii kuwaadhibu. Bali huwaweka salama, na kuwaruzuku, na kuwapa heri zake nyingi, na huku wao wanamkabili kwa maasia. Kisha akakataza vikali masimbulizi na maudhi, akayapigia mfano hayo:
