Mishnayos Bava Kamma Perek 3 Mishnah 6

בבא קמא פרק ג׳ משנה ו׳

6

With regard to two people who were walking in the public domain, or one who was running and another one who was walking, or who were both running, and they damaged one another, both of them are exempt.

שְׁנַיִם שֶׁהָיוּ מְהַלְּכִין בִּרְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים אֶחָד רָץ וְאֶחָד מְהַלֵּךְ, אוֹ שֶׁהָיוּ שְׁנֵיהֶם רָצִים, וְהִזִּיקוּ זֶה אֶת זֶה, שְׁנֵיהֶם פְּטוּרִין:

ו׳

But on the rest of the days of the year, when both of them are running and both of them are strange, both of them are exempt [from liabilities caused to one another].

אחד רץ ואחד מהלך וכו׳ מתניתין חסורי מחסרא והכי קתני, אחד רץ ואחד מהלך בערבי שבתות וימים טובים, או שהיו שניהם רצים בשאר ימות השנה, שניהם פטורים. דבערבי שבתות וימים טובים מי שרץ רץ ברשות, שהולך לדבר מצוה להכין לצרכי שבת. ויו״ט, ומשום הכי פטור. ובשאר ימות השנה כששניהם רצים, הואיל ושניהם משנים, שניהם פטורים:
