حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، قَالَ جَلَبْتُ أَنَا وَمَخْرَفَةُ الْعَبْدِيُّ، بَزًّا مِنْ هَجَرَ فَجَاءَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَسَاوَمَنَا سَرَاوِيلَ وَعِنْدَنَا وَزَّانٌ يَزِنُ بِالأَجْرِ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " يَا وَزَّانُ زِنْ وَأَرْجِحْ " .

Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah, Ali ibn Muhammad, and Muhammad ibn Ismail narrated to us. They said: Waki narrated to us; Sufyan narrated to us, from Simak ibn Harb, from Suwayd ibn Qays, who said: Makhramah al-Abdi and I brought garments from Hajar. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us and bargained with us for a pair of trousers. We had a paid weigher with us, weighing the goods. The Prophet said to him: “Weigher, weigh generously and give a little extra.”

بَزًّا مِنْ هَجَرَ فَجَاءَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَسَاوَمَنَا سَرَاوِيلَ وَعِنْدَنَا وَزَّانٌ يَزِنُ بِالأَجْرِ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " يَا وَزَّانُ زِنْ وَأَرْجِحْ " .
Arjih is a request to add a little extra in weighing; the context does not specify the exact amount.
Does “give a little extra” convey arjih without suggesting a fixed quantity?
