Aal-i-Imraan
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.

وَدَّت طَّآئِفَةٌ مِّنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ لَوْ يُضِلُّونَكُمْ وَمَا يُضِلُّونَ إِلَّآ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ 69 يَـٰٓأَهْلَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ لِمَ تَكْفُرُونَ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَأَنتُمْ تَشْهَدُونَ 70 يَـٰٓأَهْلَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ لِمَ تَلْبِسُونَ ٱلْحَقَّ بِٱلْبَـٰطِلِ وَتَكْتُمُونَ ٱلْحَقَّ وَأَنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ 71 وَقَالَت طَّآئِفَةٌ مِّنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ءَامِنُوا۟ بِٱلَّذِىٓ أُنزِلَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَجْهَ ٱلنَّهَارِ وَٱكْفُرُوٓا۟ ءَاخِرَهُۥ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ 72 وَلَا تُؤْمِنُوٓا۟ إِلَّا لِمَن تَبِعَ دِينَكُمْ قُلْ إِنَّ ٱلْهُدَىٰ هُدَى ٱللَّهِ أَن يُؤْتَىٰٓ أَحَدٌ مِّثْلَ مَآ أُوتِيتُمْ أَوْ يُحَآجُّوكُمْ عِندَ رَبِّكُمْ ۗ قُلْ إِنَّ ٱلْفَضْلَ بِيَدِ ٱللَّهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَن يَشَآءُ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ وَٰسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ 73 يَخْتَصُّ بِرَحْمَتِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ ذُو ٱلْفَضْلِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ 74
{69 - 74} Haya ni katika neema za Mwenyezi Mungu juu ya umma huu, kwa kuwa aliwajulisha vitimbi vya maadui zao katika Watu wa Kitabu. Na kwamba kwa sababu ya uchu wao wa kuwapoteza Waumini, wanatumia vitimbi mbalimbali viovu. Basi lilisema kundi moja miongoni mwao. “Yaaminini yale yaliyoteremshwa juu ya wale walioamini mwanzo wa mchana” na muiache dini yao mwisho wa siku. Kwa sababu, wakikuona mkiiacha na ilhali wanaitakidi kwamba nyinyi mna elimu, basi watakuwa na shaka na dini yao na watasema. “Lau kuwa si kwamba waliona ndani yake yale wasiyoyapenda na wala hayakukubaliani na vitabu vilivyotangulia, basi hawangeiacha. Hivi ndivyo vitimbi vyao. Na Mwenyezi Mungu ndiye ambaye mkononi mwake kuna fadhila, anampa hizo amtakaye. Naye amewateua enyi ummah huu kwa kile ambacho hakuwateua kwacho wengineo. Na watu hawa wenye vitimbi hawakutambua kuwa Dini ya Mwenyezi Mungu ni ya haki, uhakika wake ukifika katika nyoyo, mwenyewe hatazidi muda huo wote isipokuwa imani na yakini. Na fikira potovu hazitamzidishia isipokuwa kukamata kwa nguvu dini yake na kumhimidi na kumsifu Mwenyezi Mungu kwa sababu alimneemesha. Na kauli yao, “kuwa apewe mtu mfano wa mliopewa nyinyi au wawahoji mbele ya Mola wenu Mlezi.” Inamaanisha kwamba kile kilichofanya kutenda matendo haya yaliyotajwa ni husuda, na udhalimu, na woga wa hoja kufanywa dhidi yao kwayo. Kama vile yeye Mtukufu alivyosema, “Wengi katika Watu wa Kitabu wanatamani lau kuwa wangewafanya kuwa makafiri baada ya kuamini kwenu. Kwa sababu ya uhasidi uliomo ndani ya nafsi zao, baada ya haki kuwapambanukia.” Hadi mwisho wa Aya.
