Sahih (authentic)« Maqtu Sahih » by Salim al-Hilali

وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ، يَقُولُ إِذَا جِئْتَ أَرْضًا يُوفُونَ الْمِكْيَالَ وَالْمِيزَانَ فَأَطِلِ الْمُقَامَ بِهَا وَإِذَا جِئْتَ أَرْضًا يُنَقِّصُونَ الْمِكْيَالَ وَالْمِيزَانَ فَأَقْلِلِ الْمُقَامَ بِهَا ‏.‏

Malik related to me that Yahya ibn Said heard Said ibn al- Musayyab say, "When you come to a land where they give full measure and full weight, stay there. When you come to a land where they shorten the measure and weight, then do not stay there very long
EN
Yahia Ibn Sa'id a rapporté qu'il a entendu Sa'id Ibn Al Moussaiab dire: «Si tu arrives dans un pays et que tu trouves, qu'on y tient compte et de la mesure et du poids, fais là, un long séjour. Par contre, si tu te trouves dans un pays, où on néglige le poids et la mesure, dépêches-toi de quitter ce lieu»
