Woe to those who give less [than due],

وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ
الذين إذا اكتالوا على الناس يستوفون
Who, when they take a measure from people, take in full.
Those who when they take the measure from mankind demand it full,
ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ٱكْتَالُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ
وإذا كالوهم أو وزنوهم يخسرون
But if they give by measure or by weight to them, they cause loss.
But if they measure unto them or weight for them, they cause them loss.
وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ
ألا يظن أولئك أنهم مبعوثون
Do they not think that they will be resurrected
