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.

بَلْ مَتَّعْنَا هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَءَابَآءَهُمْ حَتَّىٰ طَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْعُمُرُ ۗ أَفَلَا يَرَوْنَ أَنَّا نَأْتِى ٱلْأَرْضَ نَنقُصُهَا مِنْ أَطْرَافِهَآ ۚ أَفَهُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَ 44
{44} Kilichowawajibisha kuendelea na ukafiri wao na ushirikina ni kauli yake: "Bali tuliwastarehesha hawa na baba zao mpaka umri ukawa mrefu kwao." Yaani, tuliwaruzuku mali na watoto, na tukawarefushia maisha. Basi wakajishughulisha na kufurahishwa nayo, na wakapumbazwa nayo katika yale waliyo umbiwa, na maisha yao yakawa marefu, na nyoyo zao zikawa ngumu, ukawa mkubwa uasi wao; na ukafiri wao ukaongezeka. Ikiwa walivuta mazingatio yao kwa wale walio chini kulia na kushoto kwao katika ardhi; hawakupata chochote ila kuangamia, na hawakusikia ila sauti ya mwanamke akiomboleza, na walihisi tu karne nyingi za maangamizo mfululizo, na kifo kilikuwa kimeweka mitego kwenye kila njia - ili kuziteka roho. - Na ndiyo maana akasema: "Je, hawaoni ya kwamba Sisi tunaifikia ardhi tukiipunguza ncha zake;" yaani, kwa kufa watu wake na kuangamizwa kwao kidogo kidogo mpaka Mwenyezi Mungu airithi ardhi na waliomo ndani yake, naye ndiye Mbora wa warithi. Kwa hivyo lau waliona hali hii; hawangedanganyika na kuendelea kama walivyokuwa. "Basi je, hao ni wenye kushinda" ambao kwa wasaa wao wanaweza kutoka katika uwezo wa Mwenyezi Mungu, na uwezo wao kujiepusha na kifo? Je, haya ndiyo maelezo yao mpaka wambadilishe kwa muda mrefu wa kubakia kwao? Au pindi atakapowajia mjumbe wa Mola wao, ili kuzichukua roho zao, watabaki wakinyenyekea na kudhalilika, bila hata kuonyesha upinzani japo mdogo?
