(יב) ונוהגין שיסייע וכו' - וכ"ז להרא"ש אבל להרמב"ם לא מהני כ"ז ועיין באחרונים דמסקי דמנהג זה הוא על צד היותר טוב אבל בדיעבד כשר אפילו בלא סיוע כלל להרא"ש כיון שהישראל עומד על גבו ומלמדהו לעשות לשמה ואם אין הישראל עומד ע"ג לצוותו לא מהני הסיוע לכו"ע דקי"ל מסייע אין בו ממש
English Translation
And it is our custom that [the Jew] should assist etc. - And this is all according to the Rosh, but according to the Rambam, none of this helps. And see in the later rabbinic authorities who concluded that this custom (ie. that the Jew assists a little) is the ideal way to do it, but after the fact [if the non-Jew did it all], it is valid, even if the [Jew] did not help at all according to the Rosh... since the Jew is standing over him and instructing him to do it for the sake of the mitzvah. And if the Jew is not standing over him to command him such, then his assisting is not effective according to everyone, for we hold that helping/assisting [in something] is not considered like you actually did anything.
