Mishnayos Niddah Perek 1 Mishnah 6

נדה פרק א׳ משנה ו׳

6

And in the above cases, with regard to what did the tanna say her time is sufficient? It is with regard to the first sighting of blood, but with regard to the second sighting, her status is like that of any other woman, and she transmits impurity for a twenty-four-hour period or from her most recent examination. And if she saw the first sighting as a result of unnatural circumstances, even with regard to the second sighting, the halakha is that her time is sufficient.

וּבַמֶּה אָמְרוּ דַּיָּהּ שְׁעָתָהּ. בִּרְאִיָּה רִאשׁוֹנָה. אֲבָל בַּשְּׁנִיָּה, מְטַמְּאָה מֵעֵת לְעֵת. וְאִם רָאֲתָה הָרִאשׁוֹנָה מֵאֹנֶס, אַף הַשְּׁנִיָּה דַּיָּהּ שְׁעָתָהּ:

Bartenura

בראיה ראשונה - that she saw it (i.e., blood) as a virgin, and the pregnant woman [once it is known that the fetus is present] and the nursing mother [when her son is weaned], and the old woman after three periods have gone by for her on account of her old age.

אבל בשניה מטמאה מעת לעת – that she has returned to her previous condition that her blood would be found in her.

מאונס – as for example that she got excited and saw it (i.e., blood) or on account of fear, or that she consumed something which stirs up the blood.

ובמה אמרו. ארבע נשים דיין שעתן:

בראיה ראשונה. שראתה הבתולה, והמעוברת והמניקה, והזקנה לאחר שעברו עליה שלש עונות מחמת זקנתה:

אבל בשניה מטמאה מעת לעת. שהרי חזרה לקדמותה להיות דמיה מצויין בה:

מאונס. כגון דקפצה וראתה, או מחמת פחד, או שאכלה דבר המגיר דם:
