وَأَوْفُوا۟ ٱلْكَيْلَ إِذَا كِلْتُمْ وَزِنُوا۟ بِٱلْقِسْطَاسِ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ وَأَحْسَنُ تَأْوِيلًا Qur’an Al-Israa (17:35)
Waawfoo alkayla i tha kiltum wazinoo bi a lqis ta si almustaqeemi tha lika khayrun waa h sanu taweel a n
And give full measure whenever you measure, and weigh with a balance that is true:44 this will be [for your own] good, and best in the end.
  - Mohammad Asad
Mohammad Asad

Lit., "straight" (mustaqim)-a term which in the Qur'an has invariably a spiritual or moral connotation. Hence, as in the similar phrase in {6: 152}, the above injunction applies not merely to commercial transactions but to all dealings between man and man.

You shall give full measure, when you measure, and weigh with even scale; this is the best way and will prove to be the best in the end.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Give in full when you measure, and weigh with an even balance. That is fairest and best in the end.
  - Mustafa Khattab
Mustafa Khattab
Fill the measure when ye measure, and weigh with a right balance; that is meet, and better in the end.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Marmaduke Pickthall
Give full measure when ye measure and weigh with a balance that is straight: that is the most fitting and the most advantageous in the final determination. 2221
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Giving just measure and weight is not only right in itself but is ultimately to the best advantage of the person who gives it.
