Suwayd ibn Qays said: “Makhramah al-ʿAbdī and I brought some cloth from Hajar. The Prophet came to us and bargained with us over some trousers. I had a paid weighman with me, and the Prophet said to him: ‘Weigh it and give a little extra.’” Reports on this subject are also narrated from Jābir and Abu Hurairah. Abū ʿĪsā said: Suwayd’s hadith is ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ. Scholars consider it recommended to give a little extra when weighing. Shuʿbah narrated it from Simāk, who attributed it to Abū Ṣafwān.
