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.

مَثَلُهُمْ كَمَثَلِ ٱلَّذِى ٱسْتَوْقَدَ نَارًا فَلَمَّآ أَضَآءَتْ مَا حَوْلَهُۥ ذَهَبَ ٱللَّهُ بِنُورِهِمْ وَتَرَكَهُمْ فِى ظُلُمَـٰتٍ لَّا يُبْصِرُونَ 17
(17) Yani mfano wao unaoingiana na walivyo ni mfano wa yule aliyewasha moto, yani alikuwa katika giza kubwa na akihitaji moto vikubwa. Basi akauwasha kutoka kwa mtu mwingine, na haukuwa tayari pamoja naye, bali alichukua kutoka kwa mwingineye. Pindi moto ulipoangaza vilivyokuwa kandokando yake, na akatazama mahali ambapo yeye yupo na hofu iliyopo hapo, na amani yake (moto huo), na akanufaika na moto huo, na macho yake yakaburudika kwa moto huo; na akadhani kuwa ana uwezo juu yake. Basi, alipokuwa hivyo, hapo Mwenyezi Mungu akaiondoa nuru yake, kwa hivyo, nuru hiyo ikamtoka na furaha ikaondoka pamoja nao, na akabaki ndani ya giza totoro na moto wenye kuchoma. Kwa hivyo, kule kuangaza kulikokuwa ndani yake kukaondoka, na kukabaki kule kuchoma kuliomo ndani yake, basi akabaki katika giza mbalimbali: giza la usiku, giza la mawingu, giza la mvua na giza lilichotokea baada ya nuru hiyo. Basi inakuaje hali ya huyu anayeelezwa? Kadhalika, wanaafiki hawa waliwasha moto wa imani kutoka kwa Waumini, na haikuwa sifa yao. Basi wakapata mwangaza wake kwa muda, na wakanufaika. Kwa hivyo, damu zao zikahifadhika kwa hilo, na mali zao zikasalia salama, na wakapata usalama fulani katika dunia hii. Na walipokuwa hivyo, mauti yakawashambulia ghafla na yakawanyang'anya kunufaika na nuru hiyo, na wakapatwa na kila wasiwasi na dhiki na adhabu. Na wakapatwa na giza la kaburini, na giza la ukafiri, na giza la unafiki, na giza la maasia kwa aina zake mbalimbali. Na baada ya hayo, giza la Moto, na ni makazi mabaya mno. Ndio maana Mwenyezi Mungu alisema kuwahusu:
