حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، وَمَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، قَالَ : جَلَبْتُ أَنَا وَمَخْرَفَةُ الْعَبْدِيُّ بَزًّا مِنْ هَجَرَ ، فَجَاءَنَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَاوَمَنَا بِسَرَاوِيلَ وَعِنْدِي وَزَّانٌ يَزِنُ بِالْأَجْرِ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لِلْوَزَّانِ زِنْ وَأَرْجِحْ " . قَالَ : وَفِي الْبَاب ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : حَدِيثُ سُوَيْدٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ، وَأَهْلُ الْعِلْمِ يَسْتَحِبُّونَ الرُّجْحَانَ فِي الْوَزْنِ ، وَرَوَى شُعْبَةُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، فَقَالَ : عَنْ أَبِي صَفْوَانَ وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ .
Suwaid bin Qais (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I and Makhramah ‘Abdi both brought a cloth from the place of Hajar. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us and bargained with us for a pair of trousers. I had a person who used to weigh (goods) for a fee, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the one weighing: "Weigh with a little extra." © Imam Tirmidhi says:
1- The hadith of Suwaid (may Allah be pleased with him) is Hasan Sahih,
2- The scholars consider it recommended to weigh with a little extra,
3- In this chapter, there are also ahadith from Jabir and Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with them both),
4- And Shu’bah has also narrated this hadith from Simak, but he said «عن ابی صفوان» instead of «عن سوید بن قیس», and then mentioned the hadith further.

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
(1) When giving goods, one should give a little extra, that is, when weighing, the scale should tip in favor of the buyer. Mutual goodwill, compassion, and Islamic brotherhood demand this, let alone cheating with the scales, which is forbidden. In this way, blessings are removed. May Allah protect us from it.
(2) From this blessed hadith, it is also understood that trading in cloth is legally permissible (shar'an ja'iz), and it is also an excellent means of earning lawful (halal) sustenance. Furthermore, it indicates the permissibility of importing goods from other countries, that is, the business of import and export is legally valid (shar'an correct).
(3) Just as this blessed hadith indicates the desirability (istihbab) of giving with a tilted scale (i.e., giving extra), in exactly the same way, it also indicates the dislike (karahah) and impermissibility of giving less by weight, because in this way a person's right is violated, which is a major sin (kabirah).
(4) "He was weighing for a wage." That is, he was weighing gold and silver for the price, and he would take money for weighing. This provided convenience to the buyer, because weighing the price was the responsibility of the buyer, while weighing the goods for sale was the responsibility of the seller. It could also mean that the one weighing was taking the price by weighing. In this case, the sellers must have appointed him.
(5) "He bought trousers (shalwar)." Obviously, he must have bought them to wear, however, it is also possible that he bought them for another member of the household. It is established from you (the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) that trousers are a garment of modesty (purdah).
(6) "Give with a tilt," so that there remains no possibility of deficiency. And this ruling applies not only to weight but also to measure and measurement. The giver should also give a little extra in these as well.
