"Any worker whom you pay to repair or improve something but ends up damaging it is liable."

3917 - رَوَى حَمَّادٌ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : فِي اَلرَّجُلِ يُعْطَى اَلثَّوْبَ لِيَصْبَغَهُ فَيُفْسِدُهُ فَقَالَ

"كُلُّ عَامِلٍ أَعْطَيْتَهُ أَجْراً عَلَى أَنْ يُصْلِحَ فَأَفْسَدَ فَهُوَ ضَامِنٌ".

Hadith 801

Hadith.3918 - Ali bin Al-Hakam narrated from Isma'il bin Al-Sabbah, who said

I asked Abu Abdillah (as) about a launderer to whom a garment is given, but he burns or tears it. Should he be held liable? Imam (as) said: "Yes, he is liable for the damage caused by his actions, for you gave it to him to repair or clean, not to ruin."

3918 - وَ رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحَكَمِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ اَلصَّبَّاحِ قَالَ

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْقَصَّارِ يُسَلَّمُ إِلَيْهِ اَلْمَتَاعُ فَيُحْرِقُهُ أَوْ يَخْرِقُهُ أَ يُغَرَّمُهُ قَالَ "نَعَمْ غُرِّمَهُ بِمَا جَنَتْ يَدُهُ فَإِنَّكَ إِنَّمَا أَعْطَيْتَهُ لِيُصْلِحَ وَ لَمْ تُعْطِهِ لِيُفْسِدَ".

Hadith 802

Hadith.3919 - Imam (as) said: "My father (as) used to hold the launderer and the goldsmith liable for any damage they caused. But, Imam Ali ibn Al-Hussain (as) would show leniency toward them."

3919 - وَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "كَانَ أَبِي عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يُضَمِّنُ اَلْقَصَّارَ وَ اَلصَّوَّاغَ مَا أَفْسَدَا وَ كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ يَتَفَضَّلُ عَلَيْهِمْ".
