Al-A'raaf
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.

قَالُوٓا۟ أَجِئْتَنَا لِنَعْبُدَ ٱللَّهَ وَحْدَهُۥ وَنَذَرَ مَا كَانَ يَعْبُدُ ءَابَآؤُنَا ۖ فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَآ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ 70
{70} Basi akawaidhi, na akawakumbusha, na akawaamrisha kumpwekesha Mwenyezi Mungu, na akawatajia jinsi alivyojieleza kuwa ni mshauri mwaminifu, na akawaonya kwamba Mwenyezi Mungu atawachukua kama alivyowachukua wale wa kabla yao, na akawakumbusha neema za Mwenyezi Mungu juu yao na riziki yake nyingi kwao. Lakini hawakufuata, wala hawakuitikiwa, wakasema, wakishangazwa na wito wake na kumwambia kuwa haiwezekani kwao kumtii: "Je! Umetujia ili tumwabudu Mwenyezi Mungu peke yake, na tuyaache waliyokuwa wakiyaabudu baba zetu?" Mwenyezi mungu awalaani! Walilifanya jambo ambalo ni wajibu wa wajibu zote na ukamilifu na kamilifu zaidi ya mambo yote miongoni mwa mambo ambayo hawayapingi kwayo yale waliyowakuta nayo baba zao. Basi wakatanguliza yale waliyokuwa nayo baba zao wapotovu miongoni mwa ushirikina na kuabudu masanamu juu ya yale waliyoyalingania Mitume, ya kumpwekesha Mwenyezi Mungu bila ya mshirika yeyote, na wakamkadhibisha Nabii wao na wakasema: “Basi tuletee hayo unayotuahidi, ukiwa miongoni mwa wasemao kweli." Na huku ni kujiombea dhidi ya nafsi zao wenyewe.
