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.

وَإِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـٰتُنَا بَيِّنَـٰتٍ قَالُوا۟ مَا هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ يُرِيدُ أَن يَصُدَّكُمْ عَمَّا كَانَ يَعْبُدُ ءَابَآؤُكُمْ وَقَالُوا۟ مَا هَـٰذَآ إِلَّآ إِفْكٌ مُّفْتَرًى ۚ وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لِلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ 43
{43} Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu anajulisha kuhusu hali ya washirikina wanaposomewa Aya za Mwenyezi Mungu zilizo wazi, hoja zake zilizo dhahiri na ushahidi wake wa kukata, zinazoashiria kila heri na kukataza kila maovu, ambayo ndiyo neema kubwa zaidi iliyowajia, inayowahitaji kuitikia kwa kuiamini, kuisadiki, kuifuata, na kujisalimisha kwayo, kwamba wao huikabili kwa kuzuia yanayopasa kukubali, na kumkadhibisha yule aliyewaletea hayo. Na wanasema: "Huyu si chochote isipokuwa ni mtu anayetaka kuwazuia na yale waliyokuwa wakiabudu baba zenu." Yaani, haya ndiyo makusudio yake anapowaamrisha kumkusudia Mwenyezi Mungu tu, ili muache mila za baba zenu ambao mnawapa taadhima na kutembea nyuma yao. Kwa hivyo, wakaikataa haki kwa sababu ya kauli ya wapotevu, wala hawakutoa ushahidi wowote wala cha kutia shaka. Je, ni shaka gani iliyoko wakati Mitume wanawaamrisha baadhi ya watu wapotofu kufuata haki, nao wakadai kwamba ndugu zao wanaofuata njia yao hawajaacha kuifuata? Huu ndio upumbavu hasa na kuikataa haki kwa sababu ya maneno ya wapotofu. Na ukiitafakari kila haki iliyokataliwa, utakuta kwamba mwisho wake ulikuwa hivi. Haiwezi kukataliwa isipokuwa kwa sababu ya kauli za washirikina wapotofu, wasiomuamini Mwenyezi Mungu, wanafalsafa, Masabii, wale wanaopindukia mipaka katika dini ya Mwenyezi Mungu, waliokengeuka. Hao ndio kiigizo cha kila anayeikadhibisha haki mpaka Siku ya Kiyama. Na walipochukua vitendo vya baba zao kuwa ndivyo hoja, na wakavifanya kuwa ndivyo vya kuyazuia yale ambayo Mitume waliyaleta, wakaitia haki dosari, "Na wakasema: 'Haya si chochote isipokuwa ni uongo uliozuliwa" na mwanamume huyu aliyekuja nayo. "Na wale waliokufuru waliiambia haki ilipowajia: 'Haya si chochote isipokuwa ni uchawi ulio dhahiri" kwa kila mtu. Walisema hivi ili kuikadhibisha haki, na kuwachochea wajinga.
