Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-‘Abbas ibn Ma’ruf from abu Shu’ayb al-Muhamiliy al- Ri fa Ay who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who forms a contract with another man. It requires him to dig a well of ten heights of a man deep for ten dirhams of which he digs one height and could not do the rest.

Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘He deserves one part out of fifty- five parts of a ten dirhams.’” صحيح - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (24/292))
