I asked for a loan, so he gave me a car and said, "Sell it and take its price as a loan." Does this count as a loan that yields a benefit?

Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: I went to a person to ask him to lend me money, and he said to me, "Sell this car, and its price will be a loan for you." Is this transaction valid, or is it a loan that yields a benefit?
Answer:
If his intention in the sale is that you take his place and spare him the trouble, then this is a loan that yields a benefit. However, if he gave you the car out of kindness to you, so that you would sell it and benefit from its price as a loan, then there is no harm in that. Yes.
