The Holy Quran 83:3 — Surah Al-Mutaffifin

Arabic text

وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ

Translation

(However,) If they measure or weigh for people (when they are the sellers), they reduce (the weight or measurement of the commodity so that the buyer gets less than he pays for).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
