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.

وَٱذْكُرُوٓا۟ إِذْ جَعَلَكُمْ خُلَفَآءَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ عَادٍ وَبَوَّأَكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ تَتَّخِذُونَ مِن سُهُولِهَا قُصُورًا وَتَنْحِتُونَ ٱلْجِبَالَ بُيُوتًا ۖ فَٱذْكُرُوٓا۟ ءَالَآءَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ 74
{74} "Na kumbukeni Alipowafanya makhalifa" katika ardhi ili mpate kustarehesha na kuyatimiza matakwa yenu, "baada ya Aadi} wale ambao Mwenyezi Mungu aliwaangamiza na akakufanyeni makhalifa wao, na akawaweka katika ardhi. Yaani, Amewafanyia humo na akawafanyia wepesi njia zinazoongoza kwenye mnayoyataka na kuyatafuta. "Mnachukua majumba katika tambarare zake;" yaani nchi tambarare zisizo na milima zina nyumba, na kutoka milimani kuna nyumba wanazozichonga, kama inavyoonekana hadi sasa, kazi zao milimani, kama makao, mawe na mengineyo, na kadhalika; yatabaki maadamu milima itabaki. "Basi kumbukeni neema za Mwenyezi Mungu;" yaani, baraka zake, na fadhila, na riziki, na uwezo aliowapa. "Wala msieneze ufisadi katika ardhi kwa kueneza ufisadi;" yaani, msiharibu ardhi kwa ufisadi na uadui. Uhalifu umeziacha nyumba zinazokaliwa zikiwa zimeachwa, na kuzifanya nyumba zao kuwa tupu, na kuyaacha makazi yao kuwa ukiwa baada yao.
