| 1 | O you who believe! Let it be said: Al-Wahid; |
| 2 | The One, the Unique; |
| 3 | And the eighty-first name of Allah, the Infinite, the Unique, the All Knowing. |
| 4 | Let it be said the finer the scales the fuller the belly of the people. |
| 5 | If there be no fair measure, then the people will not trade; |
| 6 | They shall not plow their second field and there shall be hunger. |
| 7 | Do not tamper the scales, nor falsify the weights, nor diminish the fractions of the measure. |
| 8 | Do not desire a measure of the fields, and then neglect those of the treasury. |
| 9 | A merchant who seeks to cheat by false weights and crooked scales steals more than the coin of the people. |
| 10 | Let the magistrates of the town employ the most honest men and seize a crooked merchant that all may witness. |
| 11 | Then let all measures and weights be tested, that there be fair warning. |
| 12 | That all merchants may witness the execution of one who seeks to destroy the prosperity of the community. |
| 13 | Surely, they will think twice. |
| 14 | Allah, sees and knows what is in the heart of all men and women. |
| 15 | He knows the true weight and measure of the merchant. |
| 16 | He sets the fairest price. |
| 17 | Do not make for yourself deficient weights, |
| 18 | They are rich in grief through the might of Allah. |
| 19 | If You see someone who cheats, keep your distance from him. |
| 20 | Do not accept a farmer's dues and then assess him so as to injure him. |
| 21 | Do not conspire with the measurer so as to defraud the share of the residence. |
| 22 | Measure according to its true size, your hand clearing exactly. |
| 23 | A measurer who indulges in cheating, the eye of Allah seals the verdict against him. |
