Saba
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.

وَلَقَدْ صَدَّقَ عَلَيْهِمْ إِبْلِيسُ ظَنَّهُۥ فَٱتَّبَعُوهُ إِلَّا فَرِيقًا مِّنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ 20
{20} Kisha akataja kwamba watu wa Sabaa walikuwa miongoni mwa wale ambao Iblisi alihakikisha ile dhana yake juu yao. Alipomwambia Mola wake Mlezi, "Ninaapa kwa utukufu wako, bila ya shaka nitawapoteza wote. Isipokuwa waja wako waliosafika miongoni mwao." Hii ilikuwa tu ni dhana ya Iblisi, wala hata hakuwa na yakini juu ya hilo. Kwa sababu yeye hajui ghaibu, wala haikumjia habari kutoka kwa Mwenyezi Mungu kwamba atawapoteza wote. Isipokuwa wale ambao aliwaepusha kutokana na hilo. Hawa na wengine mfano wao ni miongoni mwa wale ambao Iblisi aliwahakikishia ile dhana yake, na akawaita na kuwapoteza. "Nao walimfuata, isipokuwa kundi katika Waumini" katika wale ambao hawakuzikufuru neema za Mwenyezi Mungu; hao hawakuingia katika ile dhana ya Iblisi. Na inawezekana kwamba kisa cha Sabaa kiliishia pale aliposema, “Hakika katika hayo bila ya shaka zimo Ishara kwa kila mwenye kusubiri sana na akashukuru." Kisha akaanza tena na kusema, "Na bila ya shaka Iblisi aliihakikisha ile dhana yake juu yao." Yaani, kwa watu wote, kwa hivyo Aya hii inakuwa ni ya jumla kwa kila aliyemfuata.
