  He said, "O Abdullah, pay me my wages."

  أَدِّ — pay. A command form, an imperative ordering 'pay', shortened at its end the way Arabic clips imperatives of this verb type. It governs the 'to me' and 'my wages' that follow, laying out who is paid and what; the doer 'you' is understood from the command itself.
