Shabbat 127B

הני נמי, (בגמילות חסדים שייכי. לישנא אחרינא: הני) בהני שייכי.

The Talmud answers: These too, hospitality toward guests and visiting the sick, are in the category of acts of loving-kindness. A different version of that answer: These matters on the longer list are attributable to those, the matters on the shorter list.

תנו רבנן: הדן חבירו לכף זכות ⁠— דנין אותו לזכות. ומעשה באדם אחד שירד מגליל העליון ונשכר אצל בעל הבית אחד בדרום שלש שנים. ערב יום הכפורים אמר לו: תן לי שכרי, ואלך ואזון את אשתי ובני. אמר לו: אין לי מעות. אמר לו: תן לי פירות. אמר לו: אין לי. תן לי קרקע ⁠— אין לי. תן לי בהמה ⁠— אין לי. תן לי כרים וכסתות ⁠— אין לי. הפשיל כליו לאחוריו, והלך לביתו בפחי נפש.

A baraita states: One who judges another favorably is himself judged favorably. And there was an incident involving a certain person who descended from the Upper Galilee and was hired to work for a certain homeowner in the South for 3 years. On the eve of Yom Kippur, he said to the homeowner: Give me my wages, and I will go and feed my wife and children. The homeowner said to him: I have no money. He said to him: In that case, give me my wages in the form of produce. He said to him: I have none. The worker said to him: Give me my wages in the form of land. The homeowner said to him: I have none. The worker said to him: Give me my wages in the form of animals. He said to him: I have none. The worker said to him: Give me cushions and blankets. He said to him: I have none. The worker slung his tools over his shoulder behind him and went to his home in anguish.

לאחר הרגל נטל בעל הבית שכרו בידו, ועמו משוי שלשה חמורים, אחד של מאכל, ואחד של משתה, ואחד של מיני מגדים, והלך לו לביתו. אחר שאכלו ושתו נתן לו שכרו.

After the festival of Sukkot, the homeowner took the worker’s wages in his hand, along with a burden that required 3 donkeys, one laden with food, one laden with drink, and one laden with types of sweets, and went to the worker’s home. After they ate and drank, the homeowner gave him his wages.
