Midrash for Bava Metzia 58:18
אמר אביי לא קשיא כאן בענין אחד כאן בשני ענינים:
The Master said: 'If one borrows a Scroll of the Torah from his neighbour, he may not lend it to another.' Why particularly a Scroll of the Torah: surely the same applies to any article? For R. Simeon b. Lakish said: Here Rabbi has taught that a borrower may not lend [the article he borrowed], nor may a hirer re-hire [to another person]!<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' 'Here' refers to a Mishnah in Git. (29a) from which Resh Lakish deduced this. ');"><sup>15</sup></span>
Sifrei Devarim
"and thus shall you do with his garment": A garment is shaken out once in thirty days. He spreads it out for its need (i.e., to preserve it), but not for his honor.
