Book 13: Etiquettes of Earning and Living
Imam al-Ghazali · Ihya’ ‘Ulum al-Din
  1. "and any butcher who weighs with bones not customary is among the defrauders in weight. This also applies to other measurements, even in measure used by fabric traders. If they purchase, they let the fabric fall without extending it, but when selling, they stretch it to create an illusion of greater measure."

  2. "The persistence on this straight path makes one lighter on the Day of Judgment on the bridge. Everyone who mixes their produce with earth or other substances and then measures it is among the defrauders,"

Book 15: Friendship and Brotherhood
Imam al-Ghazali · Ihya’ ‘Ulum al-Din
  1. "Woe to him based on the clear words of Allah Almighty: "Woe to the defrauders who, when they take a measure from people, take in full, but if they give by measure or by weight to them, they cause loss."

Book 4: The Book of Prayer
Imam al-Ghazali · Ihya’ ‘Ulum al-Din
  1. "Ibn Mas'ud and Salman, may God be pleased with them, stated, "Prayer is a measure; whoever fulfills it, it is fulfilled for him, and whoever cheats, knows what God says about the defrauders.""
