Commentary for Bava Metzia 223:9
בעו מיניה מרב ששת קבלנות עובר עליו משום בל תלין או אין עובר משום בל תלין

I might think this holds good even if he did not demand it. Therefore Scripture writes, 'with thee,' meaning., by thy desire.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' But not by his, i.e., he claimed his wages immediately. ');"><sup>9</sup></span>
