كَتَبَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ إِلَى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ ( عليه السلام ) رَجُلٌ اسْتَأْجَرَ أَجِيراً يَعْمَلُ لَهُ بِنَاءً أَوْ غَيْرَهُ وَ جَعَلَ يُعْطِيهِ طَعَاماً وَ قُطْناً وَ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ تَغَيَّرَ الطَّعَامُ وَ الْقُطْنُ مِنْ سِعْرِهِ الَّذِي كَانَ أَعْطَاهُ إِلَى نُقْصَانٍ أَوْ زِيَادَةٍ أَ يَحْتَسِبُ لَهُ بِسِعْرِ يَوْمَ أَعْطَاهُ أَوْ بِسِعْرِ يَوْمَ حَاسَبَهُ فَوَقَّعَ ( عليه السلام ) يَحْتَسِبُ لَهُ بِسِعْرِ يَوْمٍ شَارَطَهُ فِيهِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ وَ أَجَابَ ( عليه السلام ) فِي الْمَالِ يَحِلُّ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ فَيُعْطِي بِهِ طَعَاماً عِنْدَ مَحِلِّهِ وَ لَمْ يُقَاطِعْهُ ثُمَّ تَغَيَّرَ السِّعْرُ فَوَقَّعَ ( عليه السلام ) لَهُ سِعْرُ يَوْمَ أَعْطَاهُ الطَّعَامَ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya who said, ‘Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan wrote to Abu Muhammad<sup>asws</sup>, ‘A man employed and employee to work for him for a building or something else, and went on to give him foodstuff, and cotton, and other than that. Then the price of the foodstuff and the cottong changes in price from which it was when he had given it, to either a reduction or an increase. Can he count for him with a price on the day he gave it or with a price on the day of his accounting?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> signed: ‘He should account for him with a price of the day he stipulated to him, Allah<sup>saww</sup> Willing’. And he<sup>asws</sup> answered regarding the wealth which is released upon the man, so he is given foodstuff with it during his release, and he is not cut off (his services). Then the price changes. So he<sup>asws</sup> signed: ‘For him is a price on the day he was given the foodstuff’.
