Commentary
And when He commanded to fulfill in weighing, He followed it with a prohibition against leaving it in general, as He did in measuring, so that it would be more emphatic. He said: "And do not deprive people of their due" (p-88), meaning: in measuring or weighing or in anything else, a deficiency that would be like a loss with no benefit in it. Then He followed that with something more general, saying: "And do not commit abuse in the land" meaning: act without reflection while you are "causing corruption" meaning: in wealth or otherwise, intending by that corruption as has been previously explained in Surah Hud, peace be upon him.
