The Meaning of the Poet’s Saying: “Your scale is the scale of an ignorant aggressor *** and the excess, all the excess, in the scale is lighter; with it is a scale of injustice and deficiency *** in the hand of the one who cheats in weight, woe to the one who weighs”

The Shaykh :“Your scale is the scale of an ignorant aggressor *** and the excess, all the excess, in the scale”
“Your scale is the scale of an aggressor, that is, one who transgresses, and ignorant, that is, one who does not know. And with that, it is deficient. A deficient scale means one that is inclined from straightness.
"And the return, all the return, is in the scale
is lighter; with it is a scale of injustice and deficiency *** in the hand of the one who cheats in weight, woe to the one who weighs”
If the scale is a scale of injustice and deficiency, and the one who weighs is one who cheats in weight, it means there is no justice whatsoever. The scale is one of injustice and excess, and the one who weighs is one who cheats in weight; it is not possible for there to be any justice.
