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.

قَالُوا۟ وَهُمْ فِيهَا يَخْتَصِمُونَ 96 تَٱللَّهِ إِن كُنَّا لَفِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ 97 إِذْ نُسَوِّيكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ 98 وَمَآ أَضَلَّنَآ إِلَّا ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ 99 فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَـٰفِعِينَ 100 وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٍ 101 فَلَوْ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةً فَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ 102 إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ 103 وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ 104
{96-104} "Watasema;" yaani, askari wa Iblisi ambao walipotea wakiwaambia masanamu yao ambayo waliyoyaabudu, "Tallahi! (Kwa jina la Mwenyezi Mungu!) Kwa yakini tulikuwa katika upotovu ulio dhahiri. Tulipowafanya nyinyi ni sawa na Mola Mlezi wa walimwengu wote," katika ibada, upendo, hofu na matumaini, na tunawaomba kama tunavyomuomba Yeye. Kisha hapo ukawawia wazi upotovu wao, na wakakiri uadilifu wa Mwenyezi Mungu katika kuwaadhibu, na kwamba adhabu hiyo ilifaa. Nao hawakuwasawazisha na Mola Mlezi isipokuwa katika ibada, siyo katika uumbaji; kwa ushahidi wa kauli yao, "na Mola Mlezi wa walimwengu wote" kwamba wanakiri kuwa Mwenyezi Mungu ndiye Mola Mlezi wa walimwengu wote, ambao miongoni mwao ni yao masanamu yao na viabudiwa vyao vinginevyo, "Na hawakutupoteza;" tukaacha njia ya uwongofu na unyoofu, na akatuia kupotoka na kuvuka mipaka "isipokuwa wahalifu". Nao ni wale viongozi ambao wanalingania kwenda Motoni. "Basi hatuna waombezi wowote" wakati huo, ambao watatuombea ili watuokoe kutokana na adhabu yake. "Wala rafiki wa dhati" atakayetunufaisha hata kidogo tu, kama ilivyokuwa desturi duniani kufanya hivyo. Kwa hivyo wakakata tamaa juu ya heri yoyote, na wakaangamizwa kwa sababu ya yale waliyoyachuma, na wakatamani kurudi duniani ili watende wema. "Laiti tungelipata kurejea tena" duniani, "tungelikuwa katika Waumini" ili tusalimike kutokana na adhabu na tupate thawabu. Hayawi! Hayawi, tayari imezuiliwa kati yao na kile wanachotamani, na njia zao zote tayari zimeshafungwa. "Hakika katika haya" ambayo tumewatajia na kuwaelezea, "kuna ishara" kwenu "lakini wengi wao hawakuwa wenye kuamini" hata pamoja na kuteremka kwa ishara hizi.
