  1. Full Dutch translation of Tabari's text

    The Exalted, whose remembrance is exalted, means by His statement: (All that is in the heavens and on the earth glorifies Allah) that all that belongs to His creation besides Him glorifies Him, out of exaltation of Him, out of acknowledgment of His Lordship, and out of submission to obedience to Him, just as He, exalted is His praise, has said: The seven heavens and the earth and whoever is in them glorify Him, and there is nothing but that it glorifies Him with His praise, but you do not understand their glorification.

    And His statement: (And He is the Almighty, the All-Wise) — He says: but He, exalted is His majesty, is the Almighty in His retribution against whoever disobeyed Him and thus transgressed His command, among all that belongs to His creation in the heavens and on the earth; (the All-Wise) in His disposal of their affair and in His disposal over them according to what He wills and loves.

    يعني تعالى ذكره بقوله: (سَبَّحَ لِلَّهِ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ) أن كلّ ما دونه من خلقه يسبحه تعظيما له، وإقرارا بربوبيته، وإذعانا لطاعته، كما قال جلّ ثناؤه تُسَبِّحُ لَهُ السَّمَاوَاتُ السَّبْعُ وَالأَرْضُ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ وَإِنْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ إِلا يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِهِ وَلَكِنْ لا تَفْقَهُونَ تَسْبِيحَهُمْ . وقوله: ( وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ ) يقول: ولكنه جلّ جلاله العزيز في انتقامه ممن عصاه، فخالف أمره مما في السموات والأرض من خلقه ( الْحَكِيمُ ) في تدبيره أمرهم، وتصريفه إياهم فيما شاء وأحبّ.
