Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Abbas Bin Musa, from Yunus, from Suleyman Bin Salim who said, ‘I asked Abu Al Hassan^asws about a man who employs a man with expenses and a specified amount of Dirhams upon a stipulation that he would send him to a land. So when he arrived, a man from his companions welcomed him and invited him to his house for the month or two months. So he attained with him what made him needless from the expenditure (provided by the) employer. So the employee looked at what he would have spent upon him during the month if he (his companion) had not invited him. So the one who had invited him had sufficed him. So from whose wealth would be that sufficient expenditure, from the wealth of the employee or from the wealth of the employer?’ He^asws said: ‘If it was in the interest of the employer so it would be from his wealth, or else so it is upon the employee’. (He the narrator said), ‘And (I asked) about a man who employed a man with a specified expenditure and did not explain anything that he would be sending him to another land. So whatever was from the privisions of the employee, from washing the clothes and the bathing, so upon whom (would it be)?’ He^asws said: ‘Upon the employer’.
