כל האומנין. קבלנים שמקבלים עליהם לעשות מלאכה בבתיהם:
שומרי שכר. להתחייב בגנבה ואבידה. דבההיא הנאה דתפס ליה אאגרא הוי עליה שומר שכר:
וכולן שאמרו טול את שלך. שכבר גמרתיו ואיני מעכבו לתפסו על שכרי ומאחר שתוליכנו תביא מעות, הרי הוא משם ואילך שומר חנם:
שמור לי ואשמור לך. שמור לי היום ואשמור לך למחר. אבל שמור, לי אתה זה, ואני שומר לך זה האחר במקומו והכל בזמן אחד, זו שמירה בבעלים היא ופטור:
הנח לפני שומר חנם. אבל הנח לפניך, או הנח סתם, אפילו שומר חנם לא הוי. דלא קביל עליה נטירותא בלל:

Mishnayos Bava Metzia Perek 6 Mishnah 7
בבא מציעא פרק ו׳ משנה ז׳
Bartenura
הלוהו – money.
על המשכון שומר שכר – whether he lent him and afterwards he (i.e., the borrower) gave a pledge, whether he gave a pledge and afterwards took a loan, what is the reward? It is the reward of the Mitzvah (see Bava Metzia 81b).
הלוהו מעות שומר חנם – for Rabbi Yehuda does not hold the reward of a Mitzvah for the purposes of law.
הלוהו פרות שומר שכר – for it is the manner of produce to decay/rot, but the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yehuda.
מותר אדם להשכיר – to others.
משכונו של עני – that is in his hand.
להיות פוסק עלו – a profit.
והולך – always and lessen from the liability [of the loan]. And specifically with a pledge that the reward is great and its decrease is small such as a hoe and an ax (see Bava Metzia 82b) and similar kinds of things. And such is the Halakha.
הלוהו. מעות:
על המשכון שומר שכר. בין הלוהו ואח״כ משכנו, בין משכנו ואחר כך הלוהו. ומאי שכר שכר מצוה:
הלוהו מעות שומר חנם. דלית ליה לר׳ יהודה שכר מצוה לענין דינא:
הלוהו פירות שומר שכר. דדרך פירות להרקיב. ואין הלכה כר׳ יהודה:
מותר אדם להשכיר. לאחרים:
משכונו של עני. שבידו:
להיות פוסק עליו. שכר:
והולך. תמיד ופוחת מן החוב. ודוקא במשכון דנפיש אגריה וזוטר פחתיה, כגון מרא וקרדום וכיוצא בהן. וכן הלכה:

After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.
