Ala-Maududi
(83:2) those who, when they take from others by measure, take their full share; [2]
2. At several places in the Quran, giving of short measure and weight has been condemned and measuring fully and weighing rightly has been stressed. In Surah Al-Anaam, it has been enjoined: You should use a full measure and a just balance. We charge one only with that much responsibility that one can bear. (Surah Al-Anaam, ayat 152). In Surah Bani Israil, it has been said: Give full measure when you measure and weigh with even scales. (Surah Bani Israil, ayat 35). In Surah Ar-Rahman, it has been stressed: Do not upset the balance: weigh with equity and do not give short weight. (Surah Ar-Rahman, ayat 8-9). The people of the Prophet Shuaib (peace be upon him) were punished for the reason that the evil of giving short measure and weight had become widespread among them and in spite of his counsel and advice they did not refrain from it.
