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.

فَبَعَثَ ٱللَّهُ غُرَابًا يَبْحَثُ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ لِيُرِيَهُۥ كَيْفَ يُوَٰرِى سَوْءَةَ أَخِيهِ ۚ قَالَ يَـٰوَيْلَتَىٰٓ أَعَجَزْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِثْلَ هَـٰذَا ٱلْغُرَابِ فَأُوَٰرِىَ سَوْءَةَ أَخِى ۖ فَأَصْبَحَ مِنَ ٱلنَّـٰدِمِينَ 31
(31) Manakala dia membunuh saudaranya dan tidak tahu apa yang harus dilakukan kepadanya, karena dia adalah mayit pertama dari anak Adam, ﴾ فَبَعَثَ ٱللَّهُ غُرَابٗا يَبۡحَثُ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ﴿ "maka Allah me-nyuruh seekor burung gagak menggali-gali di bumi." Artinya, membuat liang untuk mengubur gagak yang mati lainnya, ﴾ لِيُرِيَهُۥ ﴿ "untuk memperlihatkan kepadanya," dengan perbuatannya itu,﴾ كَيۡفَ يُوَٰرِي سَوۡءَةَ أَخِيهِۚ ﴿ "bagaimana seharusnya dia mengubur aurat (mayat) saudaranya," yaitu, tubuhnya, karena tubuh mayit adalah aurat. ﴾ فَأَصۡبَحَ مِنَ ٱلنَّٰدِمِينَ ﴿ "Karena itu jadilah dia seseorang di antara orang-orang yang menyesal." Begitulah akibat dari dosa dan kemaksiatan yaitu penyesalan dan kerugian.
