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.

فَكَأَيِّن مِّن قَرْيَةٍ أَهْلَكْنَـٰهَا وَهِىَ ظَالِمَةٌ فَهِىَ خَاوِيَةٌ عَلَىٰ عُرُوشِهَا وَبِئْرٍ مُّعَطَّلَةٍ وَقَصْرٍ مَّشِيدٍ 45
{45} Ndiyo maana akasema: "Basi ni miji mingapi!" "Tuliyoiangamiza" kwa adhabu kali na fedheha ya kidunia, "na hali wamedhulumu" kwa sababu ya kumkufuru Mwenyezi Mungu na kuwakadhibisha kwao Mitume wake. Haikuwa adhabu yetu juu yao ni dhuluma kwao. "Ikawa imebaki magofu tupu." Yaani, nyumba zao, majumba na kuta zao zimeporomoka, zimeanguka kwenye viti vyao vya enzi, na zimekuwa ukiwa baada ya kujaa mara moja, na ukiwa baada ya kukaliwa na watu wao. Na visima vilivyoachwa, na majumba yaliyokuwa madhubuti. Yaani, ni visima vingapi vilivyosongamana na watu kwa ajili ya kunywa kwao na kunywa kwa mifugo yao, lakini watu wake wakapotea na hapakuwa na maji yanayoingia wala kutoka! Je, ni majumba mangapi ambayo watu wao wamejitahidi kuyajenga, kuyainua, kuyaimarisha na kuyapamba? Ilipowajia amri ya Mungu; hayakuwafaa kitu, na ikawa tupu kwa watu wake, na wakawa ni mazingatio kwa wanaozingatia na mfano kwa wanaofikiri na kuzingatia.
