١٧- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ حَمْزَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) عَنْ رَجُلٍ اسْتَأْجَرَ أَجِيراً فَلَمْ يَأْمَنْ أَحَدُهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ فَوَضَعَ الأجْرَ عَلَى يَدِ رَجُلٍ فَهَلَكَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ وَلَمْ يَدَعْ وَفَاءً فَاسْتَهْلَكَ الأجْرُ فَقَالَ الْمُسْتَأْجِرُ ضَامِنٌ لأجْرِ الأجِيرِ حَتَّى يَقْضِيَ إِلا أَنْ يَكُونَ الأجِيرُ دَعَاهُ إِلَى ذَلِكَ فَرَضِيَ بِالرَّجُلِ فَإِنْ فَعَلَ فَحَقُّهُ حَيْثُ وَضَعَهُ وَرَضِيَ بِهِ.
17. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Yazid ibn Ishaq from Harun ibn Hamzah who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah , about the case of one who hires a man who because of not being able to trust each other, places the wages in the hand of another man who dies without any replacement and the wages vanish. He (the Imam) said, ‘The person hiring is responsible for the wages of the worker until he pays, unless the worker has told him to do so and agreed to give it to that person; if so then his right is where he agreed to be placed.’”
