Ash-Shura
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.

وَلَوْ بَسَطَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلرِّزْقَ لِعِبَادِهِۦ لَبَغَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَـٰكِن يُنَزِّلُ بِقَدَرٍ مَّا يَشَآءُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ بِعِبَادِهِۦ خَبِيرٌۢ بَصِيرٌ 27
{27} Kisha akataja kuwa katika upole wake kwa waja wake ni kutowapanulia mambo ya kidunia ili yasiwadhuru dini zao. Akasema, "Na lau kuwa Mwenyezi Mungu angeliwakunjulia riziki waja wake, basi bila ya shaka wangelipanda kiburi katika dunia." Yaani, wangeghafilika wakaacha kumtii Mwenyezi Mungu na wakaanza kufurahia matamanio ya kidunia tu kulingana na matamanio ya nafsi zao, hata kama ni maasia na dhuluma. "Lakini anaiteremsha kwa kipimo akitakacho" kulingana na unavyotaka upole wake na hekima yake. "Hakika Yeye anawajua vyema waja wake na anawaona." Ilisimuliwa katika baadhi ya riwaya kwamba Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu anasema, 'Hakika miongoni mwa waja wangu wapo wale ambao imani yao haiwezi kuwa nzuri isipokuwa kwa mali, na kama ningemfanya masikini, basi hilo lingemharibu. Na hakika miongoni mwa waja wangu wapo wale ambao imani yao haiwezi kuwa nzuri isipokuwa kwa umasikini, na kama ningewatajirisha, basi hilo lingewaharibu. Na hakika miongoni mwa waja wangu wapo wale ambao imani yao haiwezi kuwa nzuri isipokuwa kwa afya njema, na kama ningewafanya wagonjwa, basi hilo lingewaharibu. Na hakika miongoni mwa waja wangu wapo wale ambao imani yao haiwezi kuwa nzuri isipokuwa kwa maradhi, na kama ningewaponya, basi hilo lingemharibu. Hakika Mimi ninaendesha mambo ya waja wangu kwa kuwa ninajua yaliyomo ndani ya nyoyo zao. Hakika Mimi ni Mwenye habari zote, mwenye kuona yote.'
