Commentary

Qistaasa – (the scale, balance), it aims that you should measure at full scale (balanced) of those things which are given and sold duly weighed.

Jibillatun – (generations, people), this word has been derived from jabalun, which means “to make, to create”. It is a Noun of expressing a number or multitude, which gives meaning of collection”.

The people of the tribe of Prophet Shu’eyb (peace be upon him) were greedy and avaricious. They used to deal the matters very selfishly. They used to take full price of their commodities from the purchaser but give less than the due and deprive him of his right. Prophet Shu’eyb (peace be upon him) caused to understand them: Why do you kill the justice? You should weigh with the true balance while you have taken full price of sold goods. Who did you teach giving the things less in weight which are necessities of the people but taking their price at full rate? It is the worst grade of meanness.

Second evil into them was that they were robbers also and snatch the property of others by beating, but they did not perceive that it was an evil. The people were greatly worried due to their wrong deeds. They were desirous of property and did not care whether someone dies or gets injury. Prophet Shu’eyb (peace be upon him) said to them: Behold! Refrain from such evil deeds and fear Allaah Almighty Who created you. He is the Creator of those too who were before you.
