Al-A'raaf
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.

فَبَدَّلَ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ مِنْهُمْ قَوْلًا غَيْرَ ٱلَّذِى قِيلَ لَهُمْ فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِجْزًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَظْلِمُونَ 162
{162} Lakini hawakufuata amri hii ya kimungu, bali walibadilisha wale waliodhulumu miongoni mwao. Yaani, walimuasi Mwenyezi Mungu na wakaidharau amri yake, "kauli isiyo ile waliyoambiwa" na wakasema badala ya kuomba kusitiriwa dhambi na kusema kwao kusamehe, wao wakasema "punje katika shayiri.” Na wakati wanapobadilisha kauli pamoja na wepesi wake na usahali wake, basi kubadilisha kwao kitendo ni katika jambo linalowezekana zaidi. Na ndiyo maana wakaingia humo wakijikokota kwa makalio yao, "Basi tukawatumia" wakati walipohalifu amri ya Mwenyezi Mungu na wakamuasi "adhabu kutoka mbinguni." Yaani, adhabu kali, ima tauni au adhabu nyingineyo miongoni mwa adhabu mbalimbali za mbinguni. Na Mwenyezi Mungu hakuwadhulumu kwa adhabu yake, bali hayo yalikuwa "kwa vile walivyokuwa wakidhulumu."
