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.

وَقَطَّعْنَـٰهُمُ ٱثْنَتَىْ عَشْرَةَ أَسْبَاطًا أُمَمًا ۚ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ إِذِ ٱسْتَسْقَىٰهُ قَوْمُهُۥٓ أَنِ ٱضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلْحَجَرَ ۖ فَٱنۢبَجَسَتْ مِنْهُ ٱثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ عَيْنًا ۖ قَدْ عَلِمَ كُلُّ أُنَاسٍ مَّشْرَبَهُمْ ۚ وَظَلَّلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْغَمَـٰمَ وَأَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْمَنَّ وَٱلسَّلْوَىٰ ۖ كُلُوا۟ مِن طَيِّبَـٰتِ مَا رَزَقْنَـٰكُمْ ۚ وَمَا ظَلَمُونَا وَلَـٰكِن كَانُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ 160
{160} “Na tukawakatakata.” Yaani, tuliwagawanya “makabila kumi na mawili, mataifa mbalimbali.” Yaani, makabila kumi na mawili yanayojuana, yanayoingiliana, kila wana wa mwanamume miongoni mwa wana wa Yaaqub ni kabila. "Na tulimfunulia Musa wakati kaumu yake walipomuomba maji;" Yaani, walimwomba kwamba amwombe Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu awape maji ya kunywa kwayo na ya mifugo yao kunywa kwayo. Na hili ni kwa sababu wao - na Mwenyezi Mungu ndiye anayejua zaidi - walikuwa mahali penye maji kidogo, basi mwenyezi Mungu alimfunulia Musa akiitikia ombi lao "kwamba: Lipige hilo jiwe kwa fimbo yako." Inawezekana kwamba lilikuwa jiwe mahsusi, na inawezekana kwamba likawa ni jina la jumla, linalojumuisha jiwe lolote lile. Basi akalipiga, "mara zikabubujika;" yaani, zikatoka kwa msukumo mkubwa kutoka katika jiwe hilo "chemchemi kumi na mbili." Yaani, zenye kupita na kwenda "na kila watu wakajua mahali pao pa kunywea." Yaani, aliwagawia kila kabila katika yale makabila kumi na mawili, na akaliwekea kila mmoja yao chemchemi, nao wakaijua, na wakatulia, na wakastarehe kutokana na uchovu na msongamano. Na hii katika ukamilifu wa neema ya Mwenyezi Mungu juu yao. "Na tukawafunika kivuli kwa mawingu" basi kikawa kinawasitiri kutokana na joto la jua. "Na tukawateremshia Manna" nacho ni kitu kitamu "na Salwa" nayo ni nyama ya ndege, miongoni mwa ndege wazuri zaidi na wenye ladha zaidi. Kwa hivyo, Mwenyezi Mungu akawajumuishia kati ya vivuli, na kinywaji, na chakula kizuri miongoni mwa vitu vitamu na nyama kwa namna ya starehe na utulivu. Na wakaambiwa: "Kuleni katika vizuri hivi tulivyowaruzuku. Na hawakutudhulumu Sisi" wakati hawakumshukuru Mwenyezi Mungu, na hawakufanya yale aliyowawajibishia; "bali walikuwa wakijidhulumu wenyewe." Kwa vile walivyozinyima kila heri, na wakaziweka mbele ya kila uovu na adhabu. Na haya yalikuwa katika muda ule wa kukaa kwao katika jangwa.
