Example sentence

فجاءنى بعد حين فقال يا عبد الله أدّ إلى أجرى، فقلت كل ما ترى من أجرك من الإبل والبقر والغنم والرقيق

After some time, he returned to me and said: 'O Servant of Allah, return my wages to me.' I said: 'Look at everything you see; it is all from your wages: camels, cows, sheep, and servants.'

أَدِّ return

This is a command form, an imperative addressed to one listener, so it carries no separate 'you': the order rides in the verb's shape. It opens the demand, 'pay over', and governs both the recipient and the wage that follow.
