(تَنْبِيهُ مَنْ يُنْقِصُ فِي النَّقْلِ وَالتَّوْلِ)
(Warning to those who reduce in measurement and weight)
Hadith 2890
وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِأَصْحَابِ الْكَيْلِ وَالْمِيزَانِ: «إِنَّكُمْ قَدْ وُلِّيتُمْ أَمْرَيْنِ هَلَكَتْ فِيهِمَا الْأُمَمُ السَّابِقَة قبلكُمْ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ
Ibn ‘Abbas reported God’s Messenger as saying to those who measured commodities by capacity and those who measured by weight, “You have been put in charge of two matters because of which peoples of the past before your time perished.” Tirmidhi transmitted it.
