35. Paying Wages & Refusing Wages

Paying Wages                                                     35
Pay the labourer his wages before his sweat dries up.
--Tradition by Ibn Majah. Narrator: Abdullah-b-Omar.

Refusing Wages                                                 35
The Almighty God said: There will be three persons who will face My opposition on Resurrection Day: A man who gave (trust) in My name and then broke the trust; a man who sold a free man and enjoyed his price; a man who engaged a labourer, took full work from him but did not pay his wages.
-- Qudsi Tradition by Bukhari. Narrator: Abu Hurairah.
