Commentary for Bava Metzia 134:7

ובאתרא דלא מסלקי בעל חוב גובה הימנו ובכור נוטל בו פי שנים ואין שביעית משמטתה

R. Papa and R. Huna, the sons of R. Joshua, said: As for a mortgage, where it is the practice to make [the creditor] quit [whenever the loan is repaid], the [creditor's] creditor cannot exact his debt from it,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' If the creditor dies, and the usufruct of the estate passes on to his children, his creditor cannot demand repayment out of the usufruct of the field. For since it must be returned whenever the loan is repaid, the heirs have no possible title to the land itself, but to its usufruct, which, regarded as movable property, cannot be distrained upon from the heirs for debt.
