Those Who Deal in Fraud

In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

Woe to Al-Mutaffifin (cheaters) ,

Those who, when they have to receive by measure from men, demand full measure,

And when they have to give by measure or weight to men, give less than due.

Think they not that they will be resurrected (for reckoning),

On a Great Day,

The Day when (all) mankind will stand before the Lord of the Alameen (mankind, jinns and all that exists)?

Nay! Truly, the Record (writing of the deeds) of the Fujjar (disbelievers, sinners, evil-doers and wicked) is (preserved) in Sijjeen.

And what will make you know what Sijjeen is?

A Register inscribed.

Woe, that Day, to those who deny ((Allah, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers, the Day of Resurrection, and Al-Qadar (Divine Preordainments)).

Those who deny the Day of Recompense.

And none can deny it except every transgressor beyond bounds, (in disbelief, oppression and disobedience of Allah, the sinner!)

When Our Verses (of the Quran) are recited to him he says: "Tales of the ancients!"

Nay! But on their hearts is the Ran (covering of sins and evil deeds) which they used to earn .

Nay! Surely, they (evil-doers) will be veiled from seeing their Lord that Day.

Then, verily they will indeed enter and taste the burning flame of Hell.

Then, it will be said to them: "This is what you used to deny!"

Al-Tatfif 83:1-17


Note: Originally, the name contributed to this type of person was Abu Mazan. As many people know, Mahmoud Abbas uses this nickname.
