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.

وَجَعَلْنَـٰهُمْ أَئِمَّةً يَهْدُونَ بِأَمْرِنَا وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْهِمْ فِعْلَ ٱلْخَيْرَٰتِ وَإِقَامَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَإِيتَآءَ ٱلزَّكَوٰةِ ۖ وَكَانُوا۟ لَنَا عَـٰبِدِينَ 73
{73} Na katika uadilifu wao ni kuwa amewafanya maimamu walioongoka kwa amri yake, na hii ni miongoni mwa neema kubwa za Mwenyezi Mungu juu ya mja wake, kuwa ni imamu wa kuwaongoza waongofu, na wanaomfuata wanatembea nyuma yake. Na hayo ni kwa sababu walikuwa na subira na walikuwa na yakini na Ishara za Mwenyezi Mungu. Na kauli yake, "wakiongoza watu kwa amri yetu;" yaani, wanawaongoza watu kwa dini yetu, hawaamrishi matamanio yao wenyewe, bali kwa amri ya Mwenyezi Mungu na dini yake na kufuata radhi zake. Na mja hawi imamu mpaka aombe amri ya Mwenyezi Mungu. "Na tukawafunulia watende kheri," wanayafanya na kuwalingania watu, na hayo ni pamoja na mema yote ambayo ni haki ya Mwenyezi Mungu na haki za waja wake. "Na washike Sala, na watoe Zaka." Hii ni katika mlango maalum wa huruma kwa ujumla; kwa sababu ya heshima na ubora wa ibada hizi mbili, na kwa sababu yeyote anayezikamilisha kama alivyoamrishwa; alikuwa ameshikamana na dini yake. Na anayepuuza; bila ya shaka angelipotezwa kwa chochote kisichokuwa wao, na kwa sababu Swalah ni amali bora kabisa inayojumuisha haki zake, na zaka ni amali bora kabisa inayojumuisha kufanya wema kwa viumbe vyake. "Na walikuwa;" yaani, si kwa yeyote ila sisi "wanatuabudu." Yaani, wanaendelea kufanya ibada za moyo, maneno, na kimwili kwa muda wao mwingi, hivyo wanastahiki ibada kuwa maelezo yao. Kwa hivyo wanatambulika kwa yale ambayo Mungu aliamuru viumbe kufanya, na ambayo kwa ajili yake aliwaumba.
