真主至高说:{亏折的人有祸了!他们若从众人量取,必定足量;他们若给众人称量,或量或称,必定短少。难道他们不以为自己将被复活吗?在一个重大的日子,人们都将站在全世界的主面前。}(《穆เฏ夫斐》:1-6)

Allah Most High says, {Woe to those that deal in fraud, those who, when they have to receive a measure from men, exact full measure, but when they have to give a measure or weight to men, give less than due. Do not they think that they will be raised upon a Mighty Day, a day when (all) mankind will stand before the Lord of the worlds?} (AI-Mutaffifeen: 1-6)

据埃·赛迪(As-Saddiy)所说,上述经文的降示背景可追溯到先知抵达麦地那之时。当时他遇到一个名叫艾布·朱海奈(Abu Juhainah)的人,此人有两杆秤,一杆用于付出,另一杆用于收取。ﷺ

As-Saddiy said the reason of revelation of the above Ayah traces back to Prophet's arrival at Medina where he found a man called Abu Juhainah who had two scales, one for giving and the other for receiving.

先知ﷺ说:"五样事会导致五种后果。"有人问:"真主的使者啊,您说的是什么意思?"他说:"每当一群人违背盟约,真主就会让他们的敌人来攻击他们。每当他们以非真主的启示来统治,他们就会陷入贫困。若淫秽之事盛行,他们就会遭受大量死亡的折磨。若他们在称量时欺诈,真主就会剥夺他们的牧场(或草场),使他们遭遇荒年。若他们不交天课,真主就会使他们不降雨水。" 马立克·伊本·迪纳尔说:"有一次,我的一位邻居因患致命的疾病来找我,他说:'两座火山,两座火山!'我问:'你说什么?'他说:'艾布·叶哈雅,我有两杆秤,一杆用来给予,一杆用来索取。'马立克·伊本·迪纳尔说:'因此我就把它们互相压碎。'于是那个人说:'艾布·叶哈雅,你压碎得越厉害,我受的痛苦就越大。'"

The Prophet (pbuh) said, "Five entail five. They asked, what do you mean, Messenger of Allah? He said, II whenever a group of people break a covenant, Allah will entice their enemy to attack them. Whenever, they rule by other than Allah's revelation they will be plagued by poverty. If indecency prevails, they will be afflicted by many deaths. If they cheat when weighing Allah will withhold their pasture-lands (or pasturage) and they will face barren years. If they do not pay Zakat, Allah will deprive them of rain.” Malik Ibn Dinar said, once one of my neighbors came to me suffering from a deadly disease saying! “Two mountains of fire, two mountains of fire”. “What do you say”, I asked. He said, Abu Yahya, I had two scales, one for giving and the other for receiving. Malik Ibn Dinar, said, I, therefore, crush them with one another. Thereby the man said, the more you crush them, the more suffering I get, Abu Yahya.

后来，这个人因病去世了。

Afterwards, the man died affected by illness.

在称重或计量货物时作弊，被视为一种盗窃、一种背信行为，也是以虚假手段侵吞他人财产。真主承诺要以"Wail"惩罚这类人，"Wail"可以理解为一种严厉的惩罚，也可以理解为火狱中的一个山谷。这个山谷热到足以熔化世界上所有的山脉。

Cheating when weighing or measuring out goods is considered as a type of theft, a breach of faith and consuming other's property through falsehood. Allah promises to punish such people with wail which may be interpreted as a severe torture or a valley in Hell-Fire. This valley is so hot that it can melt all the mountains of the world.

一位早期的穆斯林说：“我作证，所有称量或衡量的人都将进入火狱。”

One of the early Muslims said, I testify that all those who weigh or measure will enter the Hell-fire.

这是因为：除非是安拉所保护的人，否则没有谁能够公正地衡量。另一位学者说：我曾去探望一位正在承受临终考验的病人。于是我开始教他念作证词，但他说不出话来。待他恢复知觉后，我问他：你为什么没有重复作证词？他回答说：兄弟啊，天平的秤杆正压在我的舌头上，使我无法开口。

This is because; none can measure justly save those whom Allah protects. Another one said, once I visited a sick man suffering from the death trials. Thereby, I began to instruct him to say the testification of faith, but he could not speak. When he became conscious, I asked him, why did not you repeat the testification of faith? He answered, O brother, the scale's blade was upon my tongue and prevented me to speak.

于是,我问他:你有没有少称过?他说:从来没有。但我以前称完后,不会等一会儿去检查。看哪!这就是那些不检查秤的人的住处。至于那些少称的人呢。

Thereupon, I asked him, did you give short weight? He said, never. But, I used not to wait for a while after weighing to check. Behold! This is the abode of those who do not check their scales. How about those who give short weight.

Nafi' 传述：伊本·欧麦尔（Ibn 'Umar）每当经过一个商贩时，都会说：“你们要敬畏安拉，要公平地量取和称重。”这是因为，作弊的人在称重或量度时，在复活日将被汗水淹没至耳朵的一半处，如同被缰绳勒住一般。

Nafi' narrated that Ibn 'Umar who when passing by a seller used to say, “'fear Allah and give just measure or weight.” This is because the cheaters when weighing or measuring will be bridled by sweat up to half of their ears on the Day of Judgment.

一些早期的穆斯林说:"那些为了天堂而在称量时少给别人哪怕一粒种子的人有祸了。天堂的宽度,竟是整个天地的宽度!"又说:"那些从别人那里多拿哪怕一粒种子的人有祸了(如果是买方在称量的话)。"

Some of the early Muslims said, woe to those who give short weight to others even a seed less in return for Paradise. Whose width is that of the whole of the heavens and the earth? Woe to those who take over weight from others even a seed over (if the buyer is the one who weights)
