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.

وَإِذْ زَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ وَقَالَ لَا غَالِبَ لَكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَإِنِّى جَارٌ لَّكُمْ ۖ فَلَمَّا تَرَآءَتِ ٱلْفِئَتَانِ نَكَصَ عَلَىٰ عَقِبَيْهِ وَقَالَ إِنِّى بَرِىٓءٌ مِّنكُمْ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰ مَا لَا تَرَوْنَ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ ٱللَّهَ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ شَدِيدُ ٱلْعِقَابِ 48
{48} “Na wakati Shetani alipowapambia vitendo vyao;” yaani, alivifanya kuonekana kuwa vizuri katika nyoyo zao, na akawahadaa “na akasema, "Hakuna yeyote wa kuwashinda leo hii katika watu” kwa maana, mna idadi kubwa, na maandalizi imara, na haiba ambayo Muhammad na wale walio pamoja naye hawataweza kuwapinga. "Nami hakika ni mlinzi wenu," asije akawajia yeyote miongoni mwa wale mnaohofia mashambulizi yake. Kwa sababu Iblis aliwatokea Maquraishi kwa mfano wa Suraqa bin Malik bin Jash’am Al-Mudliji, na walikuwa wakiwahofu Banu Mudlij kwa sababu ya uadui uliokuwa baina yao. Kwa hivyo Shetani akawaambia, “Mimi ni mlinzi wenu!” Kwa hivyo nafsi zao zikatulia, kwa hivyo wakaja makusudi wakidhani wana uwezo. Basi "yalipoonana makundi mawili hayo," waislamu na makafiri, na Shetani akamuona Jibril amani iwe juu yake akiwahamisha Malaika, akahofu hofu kubwa, na "akarudi nyuma juu ya visigino vyake," yaani akageuka akenda zake. "Na akasema" akiwaambia wale aliowadanganya na kuwahadaa: "Hakika mimi niko mbali sana nanyi. Hakika mimi naona msiyoyaona;" yaani, ninawaona Malaika ambao hakuna yeyote anayeweza kupigana nao. "Hakika mimi ninamhofu Mwenyezi Mungu;" yaani, ninahofu kwamba ataniadhibu kwa haraka katika dunia, “na Mwenyezi Mungu ni mkali wa kuadhibu.” Na inawezekana kwamba Shetani aliwashawishi, na kuwatia wasiwasi katika vifua vyao kwamba hakuna yeyote wa kuwashinda leo katika watu, kwamba yeye ni mlinzi wao. Kwa hivyo alipowafikisha walipokuwa wanakwenda, akageuka akawaacha, akajitenga nao. Kama alivyosema Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu, “Ni kama mfano wa Shetani anapomwambia mtu, “Kufuru.” Na anapokufuru, humwambia: Hakika mimi niko mbali sana nawe. Hakika mimi namhofu Mwenyezi Mungu, Mola Mlezi wa walimwengu wote. Basi ikawa mwisho wa wote wawili hao ni kwamba wako katika Moto, wadumu humo, na hayo ndiyo malipo ya madhalimu.”
