The Holy Quran 55:9 — Surah Ar-Rahman

Arabic text

وَأَقِيمُوا۟ ٱلْوَزْنَ بِٱلْقِسْطِ وَلَا تُخْسِرُوا۟ ٱلْمِيزَانَ

Translation

And (in return for this favour ensure) that you observe weight with justice and you do not weigh less in the scale (than what is due).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The heaven and the balance: from above, pairs of things have been mentioned one after another. Here too, along with the height of the heaven, the lowliness of the earth is mentioned next. The balance (scales) is mentioned in between perhaps because, when weighing, a balance usually has to be held suspended between heaven and earth.
