Ash-Shu'araa
This is a tafsīr in a language other than Arabic as the Quranic Universal Library (QUL, by Tarteel) has it, taken through the open copy of QUL’s data that spa5k/tafsir_api keeps. QUL’s record does not say who wrote or translated it or which printed edition it follows, and states no licence for the text, so the right to show it is not verified. Nobody has compared it with a printed book, and no scholar has reviewed it. Each passage stands beside the verses it comments on, which are the Qur’ān text of Tanzil, shown as it is there. Sabīl did not write or translate any of it.

أَوْفُوا۟ ٱلْكَيْلَ وَلَا تَكُونُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْمُخْسِرِينَ 181 وَزِنُوا۟ بِٱلْقِسْطَاسِ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِ 182 وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا۟ ٱلنَّاسَ أَشْيَآءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ 183 وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكُمْ وَٱلْجِبِلَّةَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ 184
"Give full measure, and cause no loss (to others). (181)"And weigh with the true and straight balance. (182)"And defraud not people by reducing their things, nor do evil, making corruption and mischief in the land. (183)"And have Taqwa of Him Who created you and the generations of the men of old. (184)
The Command to Give Full Measure
Allah commanded them to give full measure, and forbade them to give short measure. He said:
أَوْفُوا الْكَيْلَ وَلَا تَكُونُوا مِنَ الْمُخْسِرِينَ
(Give full measure, and cause no loss.) meaning, 'when you give to people, give them full measure, and do not cause loss to them by giving them short measure, while taking full measure when you are the ones who are taking. Give as you take, and take as you give.'
وَزِنُوا بِالْقِسْطَاسِ الْمُسْتَقِيمِ
(And weigh with the true and straight balance.) The balance is the scales.
وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا النَّاسَ أَشْيَاءَهُمْ
(And defraud not people by reducing their things,) means, do not shortchange them.
وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِي الْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ
(nor do evil, making corruption and mischief in the land.) means, by engaging in banditry. This is like the Ayah,
وَلَا تَقْعُدُوا بِكُلِّ صِرَاطٍ تُوعِدُونَ
(And sit not on every road, threatening)(7:86).
وَاتَّقُوا الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ وَالْجِبِلَّةَ الْأَوَّلِينَ
(And have Taqwa of Him Who created you and the generations of the men of old.) Here he is frightening them with the punishment of Allah Who created them and created their forefathers. This is like when Musa, peace be upon him, said:
رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ آبَائِكُمُ الْأَوَّلِينَ
(Your Lord and the Lord of your ancient fathers!)(26:26). Ibn 'Abbas, Mujahid, As-Suddi, Sufyan bin 'Uyaynah and 'Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd bin Aslam said:
وَالْجِبِلَّةَ الْأَوَّلِينَ
(the generations of the men of old.) means, He created the early generations. And Ibn Zayd recited:
وَلَقَدْ أَضَلَّ مِنكُمْ جِبِلًّا كَثِيرًا
(And indeed he (Shaytan) did lead astray a great multitude of you)(36:62).
