==="Cheating in weights (scales)"===
{{Quote|Sunan Ibn Majah, Vol. 5, Book of Tribulations, Hadith 4019|
It was narrated that ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar said:
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned to us and said: ‘O Muhajirun, there are five things with which you will be tested, and I seek refuge with Allah lest you live to see them: Immorality never appears among a people to such an extent that they commit it openly, but plagues and diseases that were never known among the predecessors will spread among them. '''They do not cheat in weights and measures but they will be stricken with famine, severe calamity and the oppression of their rulers'''. They do not withhold the Zakah of their wealth, but rain will be withheld from the sky, and were it not for the animals, no rain would fall on them. They do not break their covenant with Allah and His Messenger, but Allah will enable their enemies to overpower them and take some of what is in their hands. Unless their leaders rule according to the Book of Allah and seek all good from that which Allah has revealed, Allah will cause them to fight one another.’”

Cheating in weights is not a prediction of the future. It happened thousands of years before Islam and was mentioned as being prevalent even in the Old Testament:
{{Quote|The Bible (NASB), Amos 8:2-6|
Then the Lord said to me, “The end has come for My people Israel. I will spare them no longer. The songs of the palace will turn to wailing in that day,” declares the Lord God. “Many will be the corpses; in every place they will cast them forth in silence.” '''Hear this, you who trample the needy''', to do away with the humble of the land, saying: “When will the new moon be over, So that we may sell grain, And the sabbath, that we may open the wheat market, '''To make the bushel smaller and the shekel bigger, And to cheat with dishonest scales'''
}}
And famines that are supposedly a punishment for the cheating also happened throughout whole history.
