Woe to those that deal in fraud, -
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل للمطففين
Woe to those who give less [than due],
وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ
Those who, when they have to receive by measure from men, exact full measure,
الذين إذا اكتالوا على الناس يستوفون
Who, when they take a measure from people, take in full.
ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ٱكْتَالُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ
But when they have to give by measure or weight to men, give less than due.
وإذا كالوهم أو وزنوهم يخسرون
But if they give by measure or by weight to them, they cause loss.
وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ
Do they not think that they will be called to account? -
ألا يظن أولئك أنهم مبعوثون
