Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 21724 — A hired worker: is he liable or not?

Zuhayr al-Absi said: A man hired another man to work on a camel. He struck the camel in such a way that he gouged out its eye. The man took the case against him to the court of Shurayh, and Shurayh held him liable and said: He employed you to set the work right; he did not employ you to spoil it!
