For Masechet Bava Matzia 14a we will see that Shmuel sets up two different shtarot: the loan document and a document for a sale. We know that in the case of a loan, the lender demands a lien; not so in the case of a sale, where the buyer may settle for a "risk" sale realizing that his possession of the land may indeed be temporary in event that the land is confiscated. If the lender comes to claim his lien from the buyer, can the seller - the borrower - stand in front of the Judges of the Beis Din and counter the claims of the lender? After what point can the buyer no longer rescind his agreement to go thru with the sale?
