נדרים פרק ד׳ משנה ו׳
In the case of one for whom benefit from another is forbidden by vow, that other person may neither lend an item to him nor borrow an item from him. Similarly, he may neither lend money to him nor borrow money from him. And he may neither sell an item to him nor purchase an item from him. One said to another: Lend me your cow. The other person said to him: My cow is not available. The one seeking to borrow the cow responded angrily: Plowing my field with this cow is konam forever. If it was his typical manner to plow the field himself, then it is prohibited for him to plow his field with that cow but it is permitted for every other person. If it is not his typical manner to plow the field himself, and he has others plow for him, it is prohibited for him and for every other person to plow his field with that cow, because his intent was to render benefit from plowing with this cow forbidden.
הַמֻּדָּר הֲנָאָה מֵחֲבֵרוֹ, לֹא יַשְׁאִילֶנּוּ וְלֹא יִשְׁאַל מִמֶּנּוּ, לֹא יַלְוֶנּוּ וְלֹא יִלְוֶה מִמֶּנּוּ, וְלֹא יִמְכֹּר לוֹ וְלֹא יִקַּח מִמֶּנּוּ. אָמַר לוֹ, הַשְׁאִילֵנִי פָרָתֶךָ. אָמַר לוֹ, אֵינָהּ פְּנוּיָה. אָמַר קוֹנָם שָׂדִי שֶׁאֲנִי חוֹרֵשׁ בָּהּ לְעוֹלָם, אִם הָיָה דַרְכּוֹ לַחֲרֹשׁ, הוּא אָסוּר וְכָל אָדָם מֻתָּרִין. אִם אֵין דַּרְכּוֹ לַחֲרֹשׁ, הוּא וְכָל אָדָם אֲסוּרִין:

המודר הנאה מחבירו לא ישאילנו. גזירה שמא ישאל ממנו, והוא אסר הנאת אותו פלוני עליו. וכן לא ילונו, גזירה שמא ילוה ממנו:
ולא ימכור לו. בפחות משויו, גזירה שמא יקח ממנו נמי בפחות משויו ונמצא נהנה:
אם היה דרכו לחרוש הוא אסור. דלא איכוין אלא שלא יחרוש הוא עצמו כמו שהיה רגיל, אבל אחרים יחרשו:
ואם אין דרכו לחרוש. דעתו היה שלא יחרשו בה לא הוא ולא אחרים:
המודר הנאה חמבירו לא ישאילנו – as a decree lest he borrow from him, and he forbade benefit of that person upon him. But similarly, he cannot lend him, as a decree lest he borrow from him.
ולא ימכור לו – for less than its worth/value, a decree lest he also purchase from him for less than its worth/value and it is found that he is benefitting.
אם היה דרכו לחרוז הוא אסור – he did not intend other than that he himself should not plow like he was accustomed, but others will plow.
ואם אין דרכו לחרוש – his intention was not to plow it, neither him nor others.
