وَزِنُوا۟ بِٱلْقِسْطَاسِ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِ
Why this meaning was chosen
Both family occurrences were reviewed on one page with the seven aligned recitation witnesses. The witnesses preserve the known initial-vowel variation between قِسْطَاس and قُسْطَاس, while both verses use the noun with ‘straight’ in the same command to weigh fairly.
