Ibn Kathir

First, he (Shu`ayb) prohibited them from cheating in business by decreasing the weights whenever they gave (products) to people.

He commanded them to give just measure and weight whether they were giving or receiving (in transactions). He also forbade them from causing mischief and corruption in the land. This was due to their practice of highway robbery along the roads. Abu Ja`far bin Jarir said,

بَقِيَّتُ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ

(That which is left by Allah (after giving the rights of the people) is better for you,) "This means what you gain from your successful business dealings in which you have given just measure, is better for you than wrongfully taking the wealth of the people." Ibn Jarir said that this statement has been reported from Ibn `Abbas and I say it is similar to Allah's statement,

قُل لاَّ يَسْتَوِى الْخَبِيثُ وَالطَّيِّبُ وَلَوْ أَعْجَبَكَ كَثْرَةُ الْخَبِيثِ

(Say: "Not equal are Khabith (all that is evil) and Tayyib (all that is good), even though the abundance of Khabith may please you.")5:100 Allah then says,

وَمَآ أَنَاْ عَلَيْكُمْ بِحَفِيظٍ

(And I am not a guardian over you.) This means a watcher over you people. In other words, "Do this for Allah and not to be seen by the people."

Tafsir Saʿdi

English translation, public domain

+
Мерьте и взвешивайте по справедливости и относитесь к людям так, как вы хотите, чтобы они относились к вам. Не удерживайте часть имущества других людей, потому что обмеривание и обвешивание покупателей подобно воровству. Не распространяйте на земле бесчестия, потому что постоянное ослушание Аллаха портит воззрения людей, пагубно сказывается на их набожности и мирской жизни, губит их урожаи и потомков. Вам вполне достаточно тех благ, которые оставляет вам Аллах, которые принадлежат вам по праву. Посему не стремитесь к тому, в чем вы абсолютно не нуждаетесь, что может принести вам огромный вред. Если вы действительно являетесь верующими, то поступайте в соответствии с требованиями правой веры. Я не послан наблюдать за вашими деяниями, и я - не поручитель за вас. Ваши деяния запоминает и сохраняет Аллах, а я всего лишь довожу до вашего сведения Божье послание.

Mufti Shafi Usmani, English

Then, affectionately, he explained to them:

بَقِيَّتُ اللَّـهِ خَيْرٌ‌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ۚ وَمَا أَنَا عَلَيْكُم بِحَفِيظٍ

Whatever is left { with you ] by Allah is better for you, if you are believers. And I am not a watchman over you - 86.
