Al-Ghaafir
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.

أَفَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرُوا۟ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ كَانُوٓا۟ أَكْثَرَ مِنْهُمْ وَأَشَدَّ قُوَّةً وَءَاثَارًا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَمَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ 82
{82} Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu anawahimiza wale waliomkadhibisha Mtume wao kuzunguka ardhini kwa miili yao na nyoyo zao, na wawaulize walimwengu "ili waweze kuona" kwa njia ya kufikiria na kuchukua yale watakayoyaona kuwa hoja, na siyo kuona kwa kughafilika tu na kupuuza. "Ulikuwaje mwisho wa wale waliokuwa kabla yao" miongoni mwa umma waliotangulia, kama vile kina 'Adi, Thamud na wengineo miongoni mwa wale waliokuwa na nguvu zaidi yao na ambao walikuwa na athari kubwa zaidi katika ardhi katika suala la majengo madhubuti, upandaji miti mizuri na mazao mengi? "Wala hayakuwafaa hayo waliyokuwa wakiyachuma" wakati walipojiwa na amri ya Mwenyezi Mungu, wala nguvu zao hizo hazikuwafaa kitu, wala hawakuweza kujikomboa kwa mali zao, wala hawakuweza kujikinga kwa ngome zao.
