Does the Bar Metzra have the right to block the buyer even if the latter is destitute and needs the field to support his family? And what if the buyer is a sharecropper or the owner of a field in the neighborhood? In such cases the buyer has a special interest in this particular field, can the Bar Metzra tell him to go and buy a different one? What lies at the heart of the machloket between Ravina and Rav Safra regarding the scope of the Bar Metzra's rights to take over the field that was bought by someone who really wanted it?
