t-f-f

Description

The Arabic root طفف (ṭ-f-f) carries the core meaning of giving less than what is due or diminishing a measure, particularly in commercial transactions. In the Quran, it appears most notably in Surah Al-Mutaffifin (83:1), where it refers to those who cheat in weights and measures by demanding full measure when receiving but giving less when paying out. This root emphasizes the Islamic principle of fairness and justice in business dealings, condemning the moral corruption of those who fraudulently diminish others' rightful shares while demanding their own in full.
