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.

وَإِذْ أَخَذَ ٱللَّهُ مِيثَـٰقَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ لَتُبَيِّنُنَّهُۥ لِلنَّاسِ وَلَا تَكْتُمُونَهُۥ فَنَبَذُوهُ وَرَآءَ ظُهُورِهِمْ وَٱشْتَرَوْا۟ بِهِۦ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا ۖ فَبِئْسَ مَا يَشْتَرُونَ 187
{187} Agano ni ahadi nzito iliyosisitizwa. Na agano hili Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu alilichukuwa juu ya kila ambaye Mwenyezi Mungu alimpa Vitabu, na akamfundisha elimu kwamba awabainishie watu yale wanayohitaji katika yale aliyomfundisha Mwenyezi Mungu wala asiwafiche hayo na kufanya ubahili nayo. Hususan wanapomuuliza au likatokea lenye kulazimu hayo, basi kila mwenye elimu ni inamlazimu katika hali hiyo kuibainisha na kuiweka wazi haki kutokana na batili. Basi ama wale waliowezeshwa, hao walifanya hivyo kufanya kukamilifu. Na wakawafundisha watu katika yale aliyowafundisha Mwenyezi Mungu, kwa kutaka radhi za Mola wao Mlezi na huruma kwa viumbe, na kuogopa dhambi ya kuficha. Na ama wale waliopewa Kitabu miongoni mwa Mayahudi na Manasara na yeyote aliye mfano wao, walizitupa ahadi hizi na maagano haya nyuma ya migongo yao, wala hawakuzijali. Hivyo, wakaificha haki na wakaidhihirisha batili, wakajasiri kuvuka makatazo ya Mwenyezi Mungu, na wakazipuuza haki zake Yeye Mtukufu, na haki za viumbe. Na wakanunua kwa kuficha huko, "thamani ndogo." Nayo ni kile wanachokipata ikiwa kitapatikana miongoni mwa baadhi ya uongozi, na mali duni kutoka kwa wale wa chini wao, wanaofuata matamanio yao, wanaotanguliza matamanio yao mbele ya haki ya Mwenyezi Mungu. "Basi ni kiovu mno hicho wanachokinunua." Kwa sababu ni badala ya chini kabisa. Na yale waliyoyakataa ambayo ni kubainisha haki ambayo ndani yake kuna furaha ya milele, na masilahi ya kidini na ya kidunia ndiyo matakwa makubwa zaidi na matukufu zaidi. Kwa hivyo, hawakuyachagua yaliyo duni na ya kudharauliwa na wakayaacha yaliyo juu na ya thamani isipokuwa kwa bahati yao mbaya, na unyonge wao, na kwamba wao hawafailii kisichokuwa walichoumbiwa kwa ajili yake. Kisha Yeye Mtukufu akasema:
