1305. Suwaid bin Qais narrated: "Makhrifah Al-'Abdī and I brought linens from Hajar.[1] The Prophet ﷺ came to us to bargain with us with some pants. There was someone with me who weighed (the goods) to determine the value. So the Prophet ﷺ said to the one weighing: 'Weigh and add more.'" (Sahih)
[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Jābir and Abū Hurairah.
[Abū 'Eisā said:] The Hadīth of Suwaid is a Hasan Sahih Hadīth. The people of knowledge consider it recommended to add more when weighing.
Shu'bah reported this Hadīth from Simāk, so he said: "From Abū Šafwān" and he mentioned the narration.

Commentary
This narration proves that measure and weight should always be a little extra in favor of the buyer. A person who works as a professional for measuring and weighing can fix his wages for his work.
[1] There are many places with this name, one of which is a village close to Al-Madinah.
