Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا حِبَّانُ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ، عَنْ حَمَّادٍ، - هُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ - أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ، اسْتَأْجَرَ أَجِيرًا عَلَى طَعَامِهِ قَالَ لاَ حَتَّى تُعْلِمَهُ.
Translation
Muhammad ibn Hatim reported to us: Hibban informed us: ʿAbdullah informed us, from Jarir ibn Hazim, from Hammad—meaning Ibn Abi Sulayman—that he was asked about a man who hired a worker in return for feeding him. He said: ‘No, not until you make it known to him.’
Translation notes
The Arabic does not repeat what must be made known; the preceding reports in this sequence identify it as the wage.
