Midrash for Shabbat 23:1

שׁוֹאֵל אָדָם מֵחֲבֵרוֹ כַּדֵּי יַיִן וְכַדֵּי שֶׁמֶן, וּבִלְבַד שֶׁלֹּא יֹאמַר לוֹ הַלְוֵנִי, וְכֵן הָאִשָּׁה מֵחֲבֶרְתָּהּ כִּכָּרוֹת. וְאִם אֵינוֹ מַאֲמִינוֹ, מַנִּיחַ טַלִּיתוֹ אֶצְלוֹ וְעוֹשֶׂה עִמּוֹ חֶשְׁבּוֹן לְאַחַר שַׁבָּת. וְכֵן עֶרֶב פֶּסַח בִּירוּשָׁלַיִם שֶׁחָל לִהְיוֹת בְּשַׁבָּת, מַנִּיחַ טַלִּיתוֹ אֶצְלוֹ וְנוֹטֵל אֶת פִּסְחוֹ, וְעוֹשֶׂה עִמּוֹ חֶשְׁבּוֹן לְאַחַר יוֹם טוֹב:

A man may ask of his neighbor (on Shabbath) pitchers of wine and pitchers of oil, so long as he does not say: "Lend me." [For "a loan" connotes "for a long time," and it is ruled that "a loan," unqualified, is for thirty days — so that the lender might come to write in his account book (on Sabbath): "I lent that man this and this," so that he not forget.] Likewise, a woman (may ask) loaves of her neighbor. And if he does not trust him, he leaves his cloak with him and he makes an accounting with him after Shabbath. Likewise, on Pesach eve in Jerusalem which falls out on Shabbath, he leaves his cloak with him [if he does not trust him] and he takes his Pesach offering [and dedicates it on Shabbath, for time-specific obligations may be dedicated on Shabbath.], and he makes an accounting with him after the festival.
