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.

إِنَّا بَلَوْنَـٰهُمْ كَمَا بَلَوْنَآ أَصْحَـٰبَ ٱلْجَنَّةِ إِذْ أَقْسَمُوا۟ لَيَصْرِمُنَّهَا مُصْبِحِينَ 17 وَلَا يَسْتَثْنُونَ 18
{17 - 18} Anasema Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu: Hakika tuliwatia mtihanini hawa wanaokadhibisha heri, na tukawapa muhula, na tukawaruzuku kila tulichokitaka katika mali watoto, maisha marefu, na mengine mfano wake yaliyoafikiana na matamanio yao si kwa sababu ya heshima yao mbele yetu, lakini pengine hilo lilikuwa ni kuwasongesha polepole na kuwakamatia kutokea mahali ambapo hawakujua. Kwa hivyo kudanganyika kwao na hayo ni kama vile walivyodanganyika nayo watu wa konde lile, ambao walikuwa washirika ndani yake, pale miti yake ilipochanua na matunda yake yakatoka kwa uzuri mno, na wakati wa kuyachuma ukafika, nao wakawa na uhakika kwamba yako mikononi mwao na chini ya amri yao, na kwamba hakuna kizuizi chochote kinachoweza kuwazuia mbali nayo. Na ndiyo maana wakaapa bila kusema "Mwenyezi Mungu akipenda" kwamba lazima watayachuma asubuhi, lakini hwakujua kwamba Mwenyezi Mungu anawatazama kweli kweli, na kwamba adhabu itachukua mahali pa hilo, na itawatangulia kulifikia konde hilo.
