85 Preface وَيا قَومِ أَوفُوا المِكيالَ وَالميزانَ بِالقِسطِ ۖ وَلا تَبخَسُوا النّاسَ أَشياءَهُم وَلا تَعثَوا فِي الأَرضِ مُفسِدينَAli Quli Qarai‘O my people! Observe fully the measure and the balance, with justice, and do not cheat the people of their goods,1 and do not act wickedly on the earth, causing corruption.’ That is, by employing short weights and measures.
