Commentary for Ketubot 140:15

לא מיבעיא קאמר לא מיבעיא כל הזן אינו מפסיד דלעלמא קאמר אבל האי כיון דרגיל אצלו וקאזיל קאמר ליה כמאן דאמר ליה זיל הב ליה את דמי קמ"ל:

There is no question [that one may say] “whoever will provide [for so-and-so] will not suffer any loss,” since he is speaking to no one in particular; but even in this case where, since he is familiar with him and goes and speaks to him directly, [it might have been thought that this] is the same as if he had expressly told him, “Go and give him,” therefore it taught us [that this also is permitted].
