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.

ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْتَمِعُونَ ٱلْقَوْلَ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ أَحْسَنَهُۥٓ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ هَدَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ ۖ وَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمْ أُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْأَلْبَـٰبِ 18
{18} Na alipojulisha kwamba wana bishara njema, Mwenyezi Mungu alimwamrisha kwamba awabashirie na akataja maelezo ambayo kwayo waliistahiki bishara hiyo njema, akasema: "Basi wabashirie waja wangu. Ambao husikiliza maneno, wakafuata lililobora yao." Haya yanajumuisha aina zote za maneno. Wao wanasikiliza yote yanayosemwa ili watofautishe kati ya kile kinachopaswa kupendelewa na kile kinachopaswa kuepukwa. Ndiyo ilikuwa ni sehemu ya azimio lao na sababu na akili ya nzuri ni kwamba wanafuata maneno bora tu, ambayo ni maneno ya Mwenyezi Mungu na maneno ya Mtume Wake. Kama alivyosema katika Sura hii: "Mwenyezi Mungu ameteremsha hadithi nzuri kabisa, Kitabu chenye kufanana..." hadi mwisho wa Aya. Kuna suala muhimu katika Aya hii, ambalo ni kwamba pale alipojulisha kuhusu watu hawa waliosifiwa kwamba wanasikiliza yanayosemwa na kufuata yaliyo bora zaidi kati yake, ni kana kwamba ilisemwa: 'Je, ipo njia ya kujua maneno hayo yaliyobora zaidi ili tuweze pia kusifika na sifa za watu wenye akili nzuri hawa, na ili tujue kwamba anayeyapendelea ni miongoni mwa watu wenye akili nzuri?' Ikasemwa: Ndiyo,yaliyobora zaidi ni yale aliyoyataja Mwenyezi Mungu katika kauli yake: "Mwenyezi Mungu ameteremsha hadithi nzuri kabisa, Kitabu chenye kufanana..." hadi mwisho wa Aya. Hao "ambao husikiliza maneno, wakafuata lililobora yao,hao ndio aliowaongoa Mwenyezi Mungu" kufikia maadili na vitendo bora zaidi, "na hao ndio wenye akili" safi. Katika akili yao nzuri na azimio lao ni kwamba walitambua kilicho kizuri kutokana na mengineyo yote, na wakapendelea yale yafaayo kuliko mengine yote, na hii ni alama ya kwamba wana akili nzuri,wala hakuna alama ya kuwa na akili nzuri kuliko hii. Kwani yule asiyeweza kutofautisha kati ya maneno mazuri na mabaya si katika watu wenye akili nzuri, au mwenye kuyatofautisha lakini matamanio yake yaliishinda akili yake, kwa hivyo akili yake ikabakia kufuata tu matamanio yake, basi hakupendelea kilichobora zaidi; huyu anakuwa ana akili pungufu.
