شَكَا قَوْمٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) سُرْعَةَ نَفَادِ طَعَامِهِمْ فَقَالَ تَكِيلُونَ أَوْ تَهِيلُونَ قَالُوا نَهِيلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي الْجِزَافَ قَالَ كِيلُوا وَ لَا تَهِيلُوا فَإِنَّهُ أَعْظَمُ لِلْبَرَكَةِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzal, from Yunus Bin Yaqoub, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘A group of people complained to the Prophet<sup>saww</sup> of the rapid depletion of their foodstuffs, so he<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘Are you measuring out or heaping?’ They said, ‘We heap, O Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>! – meaning the estimation. He<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘Measure out and do not heap, for it is greater for the Blessings’.
