وَ رَوَى هَارُونُ بْنُ حَمْزَةَ اَلْغَنَوِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ اِسْتَأْجَرَ أَجِيراً فَلَمْ يَأْمَنْ أَحَدُهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ فَوَضَعَ اَلْأَجْرَ عَلَى يَدَيْ رَجُلٍ فَهَلَكَ ذَلِكَ اَلرَّجُلُ وَ لَمْ يَدَعْ وَفَاءً وَ اُسْتُهْلِكَ اَلْأَجْرُ فَقَالَ "اَلْمُسْتَأْجِرُ ضَامِنٌ لِأَجْرِ اَلْأَجِيرِ حَتَّى يَقْضِيَ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ اَلْأَجِيرُ دَعَاهُ إِلَى ذَلِكَ فَرَضِيَ بِهِ فَإِنْ فَعَلَ فَحَقُّهُ حَيْثُ وَضَعَهُ وَ رَضِيَ بِهِ".
Harun bin Hamzah Al-Ghanawi narrated from Abu Abdullah (a.s), who said: I asked him about a man who hired a laborer, but neither of them trusted the other, so they deposited the wages with a third person. Then that third person died without leaving anything to cover the wages, and the wages were lost. Imam (a.s) said: 'The employer is responsible for the wages of the laborer until they are settled, unless the laborer had invited the employer to do so and agreed to it. If he did, then his right is where he placed it and what he agreed upon.'
