Commentary
And it was recited 'bil-qisṭās' with both a dammah and a kasrah, and it is the qarsṭūn. It is said: every scale, whether small or large, from the scales of dirhams and others. And 'wa ahsanu ta'wīlā' means 'and the best outcome,' and it is a form of ta'fīl, from 'āla' if it returns, which is what it leads to.
