פַּעַם אַחַת אָמַר: אֵצֶל מִי שֶׁאֲנִי לוֹקֵחַ וּמְקַבֵּל מָמוֹן וְכַיּוֹצֵא, אֲנִי נוֹתֵן לוֹ. כִּי בָּזֶה שֶׁאֲנִי מְקַבֵּל אֲנִי נוֹתֵן (וְהוּא עִנְיָן הַמְבֹאָר בְּהַמַּעֲשֶׂה שֶׁל יוֹם הַשִּׁשִּׁי מֵהַשִּׁבְעָה בֶּעטְלֶירְס שֶׁהִתְפָּאֵר אֶחָד אֶת עַצְמוֹ בְּנִפְלְאוֹת הַכֹּחַ שֶׁיֵּשׁ לוֹ בְּיָדוֹ, עַיֵּן שָׁם).
The Rebbe once said, “When I take money or something else from someone, I am really giving something to him. For my taking is actually giving.” [This is related to the story of the sixth day in the tale of “The Seven Beggars,” in which the Beggar boasts of the wondrous power of his hands.²⁴⁵, p. 410ff. Cf. Kiddushin 7a.]
