Al-A'raf 85

وَاِلٰى مَدْيَنَ اَخَاهُمْ شُعَيْبًاۜ قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِنْ اِلٰهٍ غَيْرُهُۜ قَدْ جَٓاءَتْكُمْ بَيِّنَةٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ فَاَوْفُوا الْكَيْلَ وَالْم۪يزَانَ وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا النَّاسَ اَشْيَٓاءَهُمْ وَلَا تُفْسِدُوا فِي الْاَرْضِ بَعْدَ اِصْلَاحِهَاۜ ذٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُؤْمِن۪ينَۚ ۝٨٥

85And to Midian We sent their kinsman Shu'ayb. He said: —O my people, serve Allah alone, for you have no god other than Him. A clear proof has indeed come to you from your Lord. From now on, give full measure and weight in buying and selling, and do not (by cheating and stealing) deprive people of what is rightfully theirs. Do not spread corruption on earth now that order has been restored. This is better for you, if you believe.
