Yahya said that he heard Malik say, "What is done in our
community about a man who refers a creditor to another man for the
debt he owes him is that if the one referred to goes bankrupt or dies,
and does not leave enough to pay the debt, then the creditor has
nothing against the one who referred him and the debt does not return
to the first party."
Muwatta Malik Book 36, Hadith 52

Yahya related that he heard Malik say that if a man gave a washer
a garment to dye and he dyed it, and then the owner of the garment
said, "I did not order you to use this dye," and the washer protested
that he had done so, then the washer was to be believed. It was the
same with the tailor and the gold-smith. They took an oath about it
unless they produced something they would not normally have been
employed to do. In that situation their statement was not allowed and
the owner of the garment had to take an oath . If he rejected it and
refused to swear, then the dyer was made to take an oath.

Yahya said that he heard Malik say, "If a man buys a garment
which has a defect, a burn or something else, which the seller knows
about and that is testified against him or he confirms it, and the man
who has bought it causes a new tear which decreases the price of the
garment, and then he learns about the original defect, he can return
it to the seller and he is not liable for his tearing it.
