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.

وَمَا كَانَ لَهُۥ عَلَيْهِم مِّن سُلْطَـٰنٍ إِلَّا لِنَعْلَمَ مَن يُؤْمِنُ بِٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ مِمَّنْ هُوَ مِنْهَا فِى شَكٍّ ۗ وَرَبُّكَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ حَفِيظٌ 21
{21} Kisha Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu akasema, "Na yeye;" yaani, Iblisi, "hakuwa na mamlaka yoyote juu yao." Yaani, kuwatawala, na kuwakandamiza, na kuwalazimisha juu ya kile anachotaka kutoka kwao, lakini hekima ya Mwenyezi Mungu ililazimu kwamba awe na mamlaka na uwezo wa kuwapotosha wanadamu "ili tumjue ni nani mwenye kuamini Akhera, na ni nani anayeitilia shaka." Yaani, ili watu waweze kupewa mtihani na kwa huo ijulikane mkweli na mwongo. Na ili ajulikane yule ambaye imani yake ni sahihi, anayekuwa thabiti wakati wa mtihani na majaribu na kutupilia mbali fikira potofu za kishetani na ajulikane yule ambaye imani yake si thabiti, ambaye anajisalimisha anapofikiwa na fikira potovu ndogo zaidi na anakubali kufanya kinyume kunapokuwa na sababu ndogo zaidi inayoliitia hilo. Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu alimfanya kuwa mtihani na kwake anawafanyia waja wake majaribu ili adhihirike muovu mbali na mwema. "Na Mola wako Mlezi ni Mwenye kuhifadhi kila kitu." Anawahifadhi waja wake na anawahifadhia vitendo vyao, na Yeye Mtukufu anahifadhi malipo yao, na atawalipa kwa ukamilifu na ukarimu.
