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.

أَتَأْمُرُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ بِٱلْبِرِّ وَتَنسَوْنَ أَنفُسَكُمْ وَأَنتُمْ تَتْلُونَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ ۚ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ 44
(44) "Je, mnawaamrisha watu mema" yani imani na heri, wema "na mnazisahau nafsi zenu." Yani mnaziacha bila ya kuziamrisha kufanya hivyo, na hali ni kuwa "nyinyi mnasoma Kitabu? Basi je, hamzingatii." Na akili iliitwa akili kwa sababu anatambua kwayo yale yenye kumnufaisha katika heri, na anajizuia kwayo kutokana na yenye kumdhuru. Na hilo ni kwamba akili inamhimiza aliye nayo kuwa wa kwanza kufanya anachoamrisha, na wa kwanza kuacha anachokataza. Basi mwenye kumwamrisha mwengine kufanya heri; na asifanye yeye, au akamkataza maovu, na asiyaache yeye. Basi hilo linaashiria kutokuwa kwake na akili, na ujinga wake, hasa akiwa analijua hilo, basi hoja imekwishathibiti juu yake. Na aya hii ijapokuwa iliteremka kuhusu Wana wa Israili, ni ya jumla kwa kila mtu kwa kauli yake Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu: "Enyi mlioamini! Kwa nini mnasema msiyoyatenda?" Na hakuna katika aya hii kuwa ikiwa mtu hafanyi analoamrishwa, aache kuamrisha mema na kukataza maovu. Kwa sababu inaashiria kukemea kuhusiana na haya majukumu mawili, vinginevyo inajulikana kuwa mtu ana kazi mbili: Kuamrisha wengine na kumkataza, na kuiamrisha nafsi yake na kuikataza. Na kuacha moja ya hayo, sio ruhusa ya kuacha hilo lingine. Kwa sababu ukamilifu ni kwamba mwanadamu afanye hizi wajibu mbili. Nao upungufu kamili ni kuyaacha yote mawili. Na ama yeye kufanya moja yake bila ya hilo lingine, siyo katika daraja ya ile hali (kamilifu) ya kwanza, lakini iko kabla ya ile ya mwisho. Na pia, nafsi zimeumbika kutomfuata yule ambaye maneno yake yanapingana na vitendo vyake. Kwa hivyo, kufuata kwao matendo kuko juu zaidi kuliko kuyafuata maneno bure.
