[96] That is, you are well-off people who eat and drink comfortably; you have no need to be dishonest. Therefore, be content with the profit obtained through lawful means; Allah will grant blessing in it. If you accept these words and act upon them, it will be better for you, and do all these deeds fearing Allah. I am not your overseer to keep watching who gives short measure and who gives full measure, and who is being dishonest in business dealings and who is not. The second meaning of this sentence could also be that I have conveyed Allah’s message to you, and that was my only responsibility; it is not my duty to bring you to the right path and leave you there.
