The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسلم: «أعْطوا الْأَجِيرَ أَجْرَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَجِفَّ عَرَقُهُ» . رَوَاهُ ابْن مَاجَه
‘Abdallah b. ‘Umar reported God’s Messenger as saying, “Give the hireling his wages before his sweat dries."
Ibn Majah transmitted it.
