daf bit: Nedarim 33

The mishnah teaches: if a man has vowed not to benefit from his neighbor, the neighbor may still pay his shekel (temple tax), settle his debts (if the debtor does not otherwise benefit), or return a lost item to him. The gemara compares these acts to driving away a lion -- a neighborly act. (33a)

(Today is really daf 34, but the discussion there is pretty complicated, with no good entry points.)
