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.

ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنزَلَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَٱلْمِيزَانَ ۗ وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ قَرِيبٌ 17
{17} Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu alipotaja kuwa hoja zake ziko wazi na zimeshabainika, kiasi kwamba kila aliye na heri ndani yake aliziitikia, akataja asili yake na msingi wake, bali hoja zote alizozifikisha kwa waja zinarejea kwake. Akasema: "Mwenyezi Mungu ndiye aliyeteremsha Kitabu kwa Haki na Mizani." Kwa hivyo, kitabu ni Qur-ani tukufu ambayo iliteremka kwa haki, na inajumuisha haki, ukweli na yakini. Na yote ni aya zilizo wazi na ushahidi wa wazi wa matakwa ya Mwenyezi Mungu na itikadi zote za kidini. Kwa hivyo, ikawa imekuja na masuala bora zaidi na ushahidi ulio wazi zaidi. Na ama mizani hiyo ni uadilifu na kupima kwa mujibu wa mlinganisho sahihi na akili iliyo sawa. Kwani ushahidi wote wa kiakili, kama vile ishara za kiupeo wa macho na za kinafsi, mazingatio ya kisheria, matukio mbalimbali, sababu mbalimbali, hukumu mbalimbali na hekima, vyote vinajumuishwa katika mizani ambayo Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu aliiteremsha na akaiweka miongoni mwa waja wake ili wapime kwayo aliyoyathibitisha na aliyoyakanusha miongoni mwa mambo, na ili kwayo wajue ukweli wa yale aliyojulisha na yale ambayo Mitume wake walijulisha. Kwa hivyo, lolote linalotoka nje ya mawili haya - Kitabu na mizani - miongoni mwa yote yaliyosemwa kwamba ni hoja, au uthibitisho au ushahidi au maneno yanayofanana na hayo, hayo ni batili yanayopingana, ambayo misingi yake ilikwisha haribika na mijengo yake na matawi yake yakabomoka. Hayo anayajua mwenye kuyachunguza vyema masuala mbalimbali na namna yanavyochukuliwa, na akajua kutofautisha kati ya hoja iliyo sahihi zaidi kuliko hoja zinginezo, na tofauti iliyoko kati ya hoja na fikira potofu tu. Na ama yule ambaye amedanganyika na maneno yaliyopambwa na maneno yaliyofichwa ukweli wake na ufahamu wake haukupenya ukafika kwenye maana iliyokusudiwa, basi yeye hakika si katika wanasanaa hii, wala si katika mashujaa wa uwanja huu. Kukubaliana kwake na kutokubali kwake ni sawa. Kisha Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu akasema, akiwatia hofu wale wanaotaka Saa ya Kiyama kufika haraka ambao wanaikataa: "Na ni nini kitakachokujulisha ya kwamba pengine Saa ya Kiyama ipo karibu?" Yaani, haujulikani umbali wake wala itatokea lini. Inatarajiwa na kuhofiwa kutokea wakati wowote ule.
