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.

وَٱلَّذَانِ يَأْتِيَـٰنِهَا مِنكُمْ فَـَٔاذُوهُمَا ۖ فَإِن تَابَا وَأَصْلَحَا فَأَعْرِضُوا۟ عَنْهُمَآ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ تَوَّابًا رَّحِيمًا 16
{16} "Na" vivyo hivyo "wawili kati yenu wafanyao hayo;" yani, machafu haya "miongoni mwenu" katika wanaume na wanawake. "Basi waudhini" kwa kauli, na kuwakemea, na kwa kipigo chenye kuzuia uchafu huu. Na kwa msingi huo, ikiwa wanaume watafanya uchafu huu, wanaudhiwa. Nao wanawake wanazuiwa na kuudhiwa. Na mwisho wa kuzuia ni kifo, nako kuudhi mwisho wake ni toba na kutengenea. Ndiyo maana akasema, "Na wakitubia;" yani, wakiiacha dhambi waliyoifanya, na wakaijutia, na wakaazimia kutoifanya tena, "na wakatengenea" kwa matendo yenye kuashiria ukweli wa toba. "Basi waacheni," yani acheni kuwaudhi. "Hakika, Mwenyezi Mungu ni Mwingi wa kupokea toba, Mwenye kurehemu." Yani, mwenye kukubali toba kwa wingi kutoka kwa watendao dhambi, waliokosa, Mwenye rehema kubwa, na ihsani ambayo katika wema wake ni kwamba aliwaongoza kwenye toba; na akaikubali kutoka kwao, na akawasamehe kwa yale waliyoyafanya. Na inachukuliwa kutoka katika aya hizi mbili kwamba ushahidi juu ya zinaa ni [lazima] kuwepo na wanaume wanne Waumini, na katika mlango wa kile kinachostahiki zaidi na kinachofaa zaidi ni kuweka sharti kwamba wawe waadilifu. Kwa sababu, Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu alilitilia mkazo jambo la uchafu huu kwa sababu ya kuwasitiri waja wake, kiasi kwamba hawakubaliwi katika hilo wanawake peke yao, wala pamoja mwanamume mmoja, wala chini ya wanaume wanne. Na ni lazima washuhudie waziwazi kama zilivyoashiria hilo hadithi sahihi. Na Aya hii pia inavyoashiria hivyo aliposema, "washuhudisheni watu wanne katika nyinyi," hakutosheka na hayo mpaka aliposema, "Na wakishuhudia." Yani, ni lazima kuwe kushuhudia kwa waziwazi kwa jambo ambalo linashuhudiwa kwa macho bila ya kusema kusiko kwa moja kwa moja wala tasfida. Na inachukuliwa kutoka kwake kwamba kuudhi kwa kauli, na matendo, na kuzuia Mwenyezi Mungu alikwisha viweka kama sheria ili iwe adhabu kwa aina yenyewe ya maasia ambayo kemeo linatimia kwayo.
