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.

فَخَرَجَ عَلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦ فِى زِينَتِهِۦ ۖ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُرِيدُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا يَـٰلَيْتَ لَنَا مِثْلَ مَآ أُوتِىَ قَـٰرُونُ إِنَّهُۥ لَذُو حَظٍّ عَظِيمٍ 79
{79} Qarun aliendelea kuwa mkaidi na asiye na kanuni na kutokubali ushauri wa watu wake, akifurahi. Alivutiwa na yeye mwenyewe na kuzidiwa na mali aliyopokea, "Basi akawatokea" siku moja "katika pambo lake." Yaani: katika hali ya juu kabisa ya hali yake ya kidunia, alikuwa na pesa alizokuwa nazo, na alikuwa ameandaliwa na kupambwa kwa kile alichoweza, na mapambo hayo kwa kawaida yalikuwa ya ukubwa sawa, pambo la ulimwengu, ua lake, furaha yake, hasira yake na kiburi chake, na kwa hali hiyo macho yake yalihuzunika, na ghorofa yake ilijaa mioyo, na pambo lake lilitafunwa na roho, kwa hivyo wakuu waligawanywa katika sehemu mbili, kila mmoja alisema kulingana na kile alichokuwa nacho. Kutokana na uamuzi na tamaa, "Wakasema wale waliokuwa wanataka maisha ya duniani;" yaani, wale ambao mapenzi yao yameambatana nayo, na tamaa yao imekuwa bora zaidi, hawana mapenzi mengine: "Laiti tungelikuwa tunayo kama aliyopewa Qaruni," kutoka kwa ulimwengu na mali yake na ua, "Hakika yeye ni mwenye bahati kubwa." Na waliamini kuwa ni mtu wa bahati kubwa ikiwa itaishia kwa tamaa zao na kwamba hakuna nyumba nyingine nyuma ya ulimwengu; alipewa kile kilicho na kusudi la kubariki ulimwengu, na aliweza kufanya hivi kwa mahitaji yake yote, kwa hivyo bahati hii kubwa ikawa kulingana na uamuzi wao, na kwamba msukumo ambao ulifanya hii kumalizika kwa tamaa yake na mwisho wa mahitaji yake; kwa wale ambao wana chini, chini na chini kabisa;, na haina ongezeko hata kidogo la mahitaji makubwa na matashi makubwa.
