Mesorat%20hashas for Avodah Zarah 30:3

א"ל אביי וכל היכא דאדם מצווה אסור והרי שדה דאדם מצווה על שביתת שדהו בשביעית ותנן בש"א לא ימכור אדם שדה ניר בשביעית וב"ה מתירין מפני שיכול להובירה

Abaye said to him: And in every case when one is commanded [concerning a thing] he is forbidden [to sell it to one who may disregard the commandment]? Take then the case of a field, for one is commanded to let his field lie fallow on the Sabbatical Year. Yet it has been taught: Beth Shammai say: One may not sell a field meant for plowing on the Sabbatical year, but Beth Hillel permit it, because it is possible that he will let it lie fallow [during that year]!
