34/51. Chapter:
Weighing goods by the seller or the giver
لِقَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى: {وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَوْ وَزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ} يَعْنِي كَالُوا لَهُمْ وَوَزَنُوا لَهُمْ كَقَوْلِهِ: {يَسْمَعُونَكُمْ} يَسْمَعُونَ لَكُمْ. وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اكْتَالُوا حَتَّى تَسْتَوْفُوا». وَيُذْكَرُ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَهُ: «إِذَا بِعْتَ فَكِلْ، وَإِذَا ابْتَعْتَ فَاكْتَلْ».And the Statement of Allah عز وجل: “And when they have to give by measure or weight to (other) men, give less than due.” (V.83:3) The Prophet ﷺ said, “When you receive what you buy by measure, let it be exact full measure.” Narrated ‘Uthman رضي الله عنه that the Prophet ﷺ told him, “If you are the seller, you have to measure, and if you are the buyer, then let the seller measure for you.”
Sahih Bukhari
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " مَنِ ابْتَاعَ طَعَامًا فَلاَ يَبِيعُهُ حَتَّى يَسْتَوْفِيَهُ ".
Narrated `Abdullah ibn `Umar: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "He who buys foodstuff should not sell it till he is satisfied with the measure with which he has bought it.
