Why did not Rab adopt the explanation of 'Ulla? — He will say to you, Do you call the second the one who emancipates him?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Seeing that he was not his master, how could he be said to emancipate him? ');">¹¹</span> It has been stated: If a man makes a field of his security [for a debt] to another, and it is flooded by a river, Ammi Shapir Na'eh<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' So called on account of his beauty (v. n. 7) Rash. Nid. 19b. ');">¹²</span> says in the name of R. Johanan that he cannot recover his debt from the remaining property of the debtor. The father of Samuel, however, says that he can recover from the remainder of his property. Said R. Nahman b. Isaac: Because he is Ammi Shapir Na'eh he makes pronouncements which are not commendable.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' A play on the word shapir, which means 'beautiful', 'commendable', as also does na'eh.

If, however, he said to him, 'You shall not be able to recover save from this', he cannot recover from the remainder of his property.
