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.

قَـٰلَ كَمْ لَبِثْتُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ عَدَدَ سِنِينَ 112 قَالُوا۟ لَبِثْنَا يَوْمًا أَوْ بَعْضَ يَوْمٍ فَسْـَٔلِ ٱلْعَآدِّينَ 113 قَـٰلَ إِن لَّبِثْتُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا ۖ لَّوْ أَنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ 114
{112-114} "Alisema," wanapaswa kulaumiwa na kwamba walikuwa katika ndoto za kipumbavu, kwani walipata katika kipindi hiki kifupi kila uovu uliowapeleka kwenye ghadhabu na adhabu yake, na hawakupata yale waliyoyapata Waumini katika wema ambao unawapeleka kwenye furaha ya milele na radhi ya Mola wao. "Mlikaa muda gani katika ardhi kwa hisabu ya miaka?" Watasema, tulikaa siku moja au sehemu ya siku." Kauli yao hii inatokana na makadirio yao mafupi sana ya muda wa kukaa kwao katika dunia hii, na hilo ni la manufaa, lakini halionyeshi kiasi chake au kubainisha. Ndiyo maana wakasema, "Basi waulize wanaoweka hisabu;" yaani, wanaodhibiti idadi yake, na ama wao; kuna wasiwasi mkubwa na adhabu ya kushangaza linapokuja suala la kujua idadi yake. Akawaambia Mola, "Nyinyi hamkukaa huko duniani ila kidogo" sawia mkiwa mumebaini idadi ya muda huo au la, "laiti ingelikuwa mnajua."
