בבא מציעא פרק ג׳ משנה ג׳
Bartenura
אמר לשנים גזלתי לאחד מכם. והם אינם תובעים לו כלום, אלא הוא בא לצאת ידי שמים:
נותן לזה מנה ולזה מנה. אבל שנים שתבעוהו והודה שגזל לאחד מהם, ישבע כל אחד מהם שלו גזל, ונותן מנה לזה ומנה לזה. קנס קנסוהו חכמים מפני שעבר על לא תגזול. וכן שנים שתבעו לאחד. כל אחד אומר אבי הפקיד אצלך מנה, והוא אומר אביו של אחד מכם הניח לי מנה ואיני יודע איזהו, הרי כל אחד מהם נשבע שאביו הניח אצלו מנה, ונותן מנה לזה ומנה לזה, דאיהו פשע בנפשיה דהוה ליה למידק ולזכור מי הניח אצלו המנה:
Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Bava Metzia Perek 3 Mishnah 4
בבא מציעא פרק ג׳ משנה ד׳
Bartenura
שנים שהפקידו אצל אחד זה מנה וזה מאתים – such as the case where both of them deposited together one before the other.
נותן לזה מנה ולזה מנה וכו' – that he said to them: you who were not particular together, and you did not suspect each other, lest his fellow would claim the two-hundred. I also do not deceive myself to be particular about who gets the two-hundred. And they make it as if they placed all three-hundred in one bundle/bag , so they would not have to be particular about what one party has in it and what his fellow has in it.
מה הפסיד הרמאי – for he will never admit the truth.
שנים שהפקידו אצל אחד זה מנה וזה מאתים. כגון דאפקידו תרווייהו כי הדדי זה בפני זה:
נותן לזה מנה ולזה מנה וכו׳ דאמר להו אתון לא קפדיתו אהדדי, ולא חשדתם זה את זה שמא חבירו יתבע המאתים. אנא נמי לא רמאי אנפשאי למידק המאתים של מי הן. ונעשו כאילו הניחו כל השלש מאות בצרור אחד, דלא הוי ליה למידק מה יש לזה בתוכו ומה יש לחבירו:
מה הפסיד הרמאי. ולעולם לא יודה על האמת:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ

In 1934, the Kozoglover Gaon, Rav Aryeh Tzvi Frommer, who took over from Rav Meir Shapiro (the founder of Daf Yomi) as the head of Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, initiated the Mishnah Yomi cycle, focusing on Seder Zeraim and Seder Taharos. 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.

אמר לשנים: גזלתי לאחד מכם – And they do not make a claim against him at all, but he wants to fulfill [his responsibility] according to heaven.
נותן לזה מנה ולזה מנה – but two who make claim and he admits that the stole from one of them, every one takes an oath that he stole from him. The Sages imposed a fine upon him because he translated on לא תגזול/”you shall not commit robbery” (Leviticus 19:13); and similarly, two who make a claim against one, each one says: “My father deposited with you a Maneh.” And he states: “The father of one of you left with me a Maneh but I do not know which one [of you];” each one of them swore that his father left with him a Maneh, and he gives a Maneh to this one and a Maneh to that one. For he had committed an act of negligence against himself for he should have paid attention and to remember who left with him the Maneh.
