Meilah6: 4
נָתַן לוֹ שְׁתֵּי פְרוּטוֹת, אָמַר לוֹ: ”הָבֵא לִי אֶתְרוֹג”, וְהָלַךְ וְהֵבִיא לוֹ בִּפְרוּטָה אֶתְרוֹג וּבִפְרוּטָה רִמּוֹן — שְׁנֵיהֶם מָעָלוּ. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר: בַּעַל הַבַּיִת לֹא מָעַל, שֶׁהוּא אוֹמֵר לוֹ: ”אֶתְרוֹג גָּדוֹל הָיִיתִי מְבַקֵּשׁ, וְהֵבֵאתָ לִי קָטָן וָרָע”. נָתַן לוֹ דִינַר זָהָב, אָמַר לוֹ: ”הָבֵא לִי חָלוּק”, וְהָלַךְ וְהֵבִיא לוֹ בִּשְׁלֹשָׁה חָלוּק וּבִשְׁלֹשָׁה טַלִּית — שְׁנֵיהֶם מָעָלוּ. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר: בַּעַל הַבַּיִת לֹא מָעַל, שֶׁהוּא אוֹמֵר לוֹ: ”חָלוּק גָּדוֹל הָיִיתִי מְבַקֵּשׁ, וְהֵבֵאתָ לִי קָטָן וָרָע”.
[If the householder] gave [the agent] two perutos [and] said to him, “Bring me an esrog,” and [the agent] went and brought him an esrog with one perutah and a pomegranate with one perutah, both of them have com- mitted me’ilah. R’ Yehudah says: The householder has not committed me’ilah, for he can say to [the agent], “I would have wanted a supe- rior esrog and you brought me a small, inferior [one].”  [If the householder] gave [the agent] a gold dinar [and] said to him, “Bring me a shirt,” and [the agent] went and brought him a shirt with three [of the selaim] and a cloak with three [of the selaim], both of them have committed me’ilah. R’ Yehudah says: The householder has not committed me’ilah, for he can say to [the agent], “I would have wanted a superior shirt and you brought me a small, inferior [one].”
