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.

مَثَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَوْلِيَآءَ كَمَثَلِ ٱلْعَنكَبُوتِ ٱتَّخَذَتْ بَيْتًا ۖ وَإِنَّ أَوْهَنَ ٱلْبُيُوتِ لَبَيْتُ ٱلْعَنكَبُوتِ ۖ لَوْ كَانُوا۟ يَعْلَمُونَ 41
{41} Huu ni mfano ambao Mwenyezi Mungu amewawekea wale wanaoabudu wengine pamoja naye, ambao kwa huo anakusudia kuimarisha, kuimarisha, na kunufaika, na kwamba kinyume na nia yake, mfano wake ni kama buibui ambaye amechukua nyumba inayomlinda dhidi ya joto, baridi, na wadudu, "Na hakika nyumba dhaifu mno kuliko zote" dhaifu na dhaifu zaidi kati yao "ni jumba la buibui" buibui ni mmoja wa wanyama dhaifu, na nyumba yake ni moja ya nyumba dhaifu, na kwa kuichukua, imeongezeka tu katika udhaifu. Kadhalika, wale waliowafanya walinzi badala yake Yeye ni masikini na wanyonge katika kila kitu, na wanapowachukua walinzi badala yake Yeye hutiwa nguvu nao na kuomba msaada wao. Wakawa wanyonge kwa unyonge wao na dhaifu kwa udhaifu wao; waliwategemea kwa maslahi yao mengi, na kuwatupa, na wamewaacha; lakini wale ambao watafanya hivyo, kwa hivyo waache, hawakupata faida yoyote kutoka kwao, wala hawakupata msaada wao kutoka kwao; ikiwa walijua ukweli wa maarifa juu ya hali yao na hali ya wale waliowachukua; hawakuwachukua, na wangewakataa, na wangechukua juu ya Mola Mlezi, Mwenye uwezo, Mwingi wa Rehema, ambaye, ikiwa angechukuliwa na mtumishi wake na kumkabidhi; dini yake na wanadamu wake, na akaimarika zaidi na nguvu katika moyo wake, mwili wake, hali yake, na matendo yake.
