Reflection — 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
Reflection — Maarif ul Quran
Then, affectionately, he explained to them:
بَقِيَّتُ اللَّـهِ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ۚ وَمَا أَنَا عَلَيْكُم بِحَفِيظٍ
