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.

ٱدْعُوهُمْ لِـَٔابَآئِهِمْ هُوَ أَقْسَطُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ فَإِن لَّمْ تَعْلَمُوٓا۟ ءَابَآءَهُمْ فَإِخْوَٰنُكُمْ فِى ٱلدِّينِ وَمَوَٰلِيكُمْ ۚ وَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ فِيمَآ أَخْطَأْتُم بِهِۦ وَلَـٰكِن مَّا تَعَمَّدَتْ قُلُوبُكُمْ ۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا 5
{5} Kisha akawaambia wazi wazi kuacha hali yao hiyo ya kwanza lililojumuisha maneno batili, akasema: "Waiteni" wana hawa wa kupanga "kwa baba zao" waliowazaa, "maana huo ndio uadilifu zaidi mbele ya Mwenyezi Mungu" na la uwongofu zaidi. "Na ikiwa hamuwajui baba zao" wa kweli, "basi ni ndugu zenu katika Dini na marafiki zenu." Kwa hivyo hapo waiteni kwa udugu wa kiimani wa kweli na kusaidiana katika suala hili. Kwa hivyo kuwaita kwa majina ya wale waliowapanga ni suala ambalo haliruhusiwi kabisa kulifanya. Na ama kuwaita kwa baba zao ikiwa wanajulikana, hilo litahitajika liwe hivyo, lakini kama hawajulikanai, basi itatosheleza tu kuwaita kwa kile kinachojulikana kuhusiana nao, ambacho ni udugu wa kidini na kusaidiana. Na msifikirie kuwa kutojua baba zao ni kisingizio cha kuwaita kwa wale waliowapanga; Kwa sababu kilichokatazwa hakiwezi kuondolewa kwa kufanya hivyo. "Wala si lawama juu yenu kwa mlivyokosea" ikiwa mmoja wenu atamuita mwana wake wa kupanga kwa namna iliyokatazwa bila ya kukusudia. Au hata kama mnadhani kwamba fulani ndiye baba yake kwa nje, kwa hivyo mkamkaribisha naye, lakini kwa ndani yeye si baba yake hasa, basi hakuna kosa lolote juu yenu katika hilo kama mlikosea. "Lakini" atawachukulia makosa katika yale ziliyofanya nyoyo zenu kwa makusudi ambapo mlisema yale yasiyoruhusika. "Na Mwenyezi Mungu ni Mwenye kusamehe, Mwenye kurehemu." Aliwasamehe na akakurehemuni. Kwa kuwa hakukuadhibuni kwa mliyokuwa mkiyatenda hapo awali, na akawaachilia mbali yale mliyofanya kwa kukosea, na akawarehemu ambapo aliwaelezea hukumu zake ambazo zinatengeneza dini yenu na dunia yenu; basi sifa njema zote ni zake Yeye Mtukufu.
