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.

عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ 1 أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ 2 وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ 3 أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ 4 أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ 5 فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ 6 وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ 7 وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ 8 وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ 9 فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ 10
Sababu ya kuteremshwa aya hizi tukufu ni kwamba alikuja kipofu mmoja miongoni mwa waumini kumwomba Mtume - rehema na amani zimshukie - na ajifunze kutoka kwake, kisha akaja tajiri mmoja, naye Nabii - rehema na amani za Mwenyezi Mungu ziwe juu yake - alikuwa na hamu kubwa ya kuwaongoza viumbe, kwa hivyo, yeye Nabii - rehema na amani za Mwenyezi Mungu zimfikie - akaegemea na kumsikiliza vyema yule tajiri na akakataa kumsikiliza huyo maskini kipofu; akiwa na matarajio ya kumwongoza tajiri huyo na akitumaini atakasike, lakini Mwenyezi Mungu akamlaumu kwa lawama hii ya upole, akisema:
{1 - 10} "Alikunja kipaji" cha uso wake "na akageuka" kwa mwili wake kwa sababu alijiwa na kipofu. Kisha akataja manufaa ya kumwelekea, akasema: "Na nini kitakujuulisha pengine yeye" yaani kipofu huyo, "atatakasika" kwa kujiepusha na tabia mbaya na akasifika kwa sifa nzuri. "Au atawaidhika, na mawaidha yamfae?" Na hii ni faida kubwa, ambayo ndiyo lengo la kuwatuma Mitume, kuwaidhi kwa wale wanaowaidhi, na kukumbusha kwa wale wanaokumbusha. Kwa hivyo, wewe kumwelekea yule ambaye yeye mwenyewe alikuja akilitaka jambo hilo, basi yeye ndiye anayefailia zaidi na anayestahiki zaidi kuelekewa. Na ama kumshughulikia kwako na kumwelekea tajiri na mwenye kujiona kwamba kajitosheleza ambaye haulizi wala kutafuta ushauri wa kisheria (fatwa) kwa sababu hana haja na heri, huku ukimwacha yule aliye muhimu zaidi kuliko yeye, basi haupaswi kufanya hivyo. Kwani hutalaumiwa ikiwa hatatakasika. Kwa maana ikiwa hatatakasika, basi wewe hutaulizwa yale aliyofanya ya uovu. Kwa hivyo hili likaonyesha kanuni inayojulikana sana; kwamba jambo linalojulikana halipaswi kuachwa kwa ajili ya jambo la kufikirika tu, wala kuacha masilahi yenye uhakika kwa ajili ya masilahi ya kufikirika tu, na kwamba mtu anafaa kumshughulikia mtafutaji wa elimu ambaye anaihitaji, mwenye uchu nayo zaidi kuliko wengineye.
