הניזקין שמין להם בעידית. אע״ג דמדאורייתא היא, דכתיב (שמות כ״ב:ד׳) מיטב שדהו ומיטב כרמו ישלם, האי תנא סבר דמיטב שדהו דניזק קאמר קרא, ומפני תקון העולם אמרו חכמים שישלם המזיק מעידית שבנכסיו, אע״פ שהם טובים מעידית של ניזק, כדי שיהו נזהרים מלהזיק:
ובעל חוב בבינונית. דמדאורייתא לא גבי אלא מזיבורית, דכתיב (דברים כ״ד:י״א) והאיש אשר אתה נושה בו יוציא אליך את העבוט החוצה, ואין דרכו של אדם להוציא אלא הפחות שבנכסיו, ומפני תקון העולם אמרו בעל חוב בבינונית, כדי שלא תנעול דלת בפני לווין:
וכתובת אשה בזבורית. דליכא למיחש בה לנעילת דלת. דיותר ממה שהאיש רוצה לישא, אשה רוצה להנשא:
ר״מ אומר כו׳ ואין הלכה כרבי מאיר:
Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Gittin Perek 5 Mishnah 2
גיטין פרק ה׳ משנה ב׳
Bartenura
אין נפרעים מכנסים משועבדים – such as a borrower who sold his middle-range [property] which was mortgaged to the creditor, the creditor cannot seize it from the purchaser if free-standing property remains with the borrower, and even though they are not other than the lowest level property.
אין נפרעים מנכסים משועבדים. כגון לוה שמכר בינונית שלו שהיא משועבדת לבעל חוב, אין הבעל חוב יכול לטרוף אותה מן הלוקח אם נשאר אצל הלוה נכסים בני חורין, ואע״פ שאינן אלא זבורית:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ

Who started the Mishnah Yomi program?
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.

הניזקין שמין להם בעידית – Even though that it is from Torah, as it is written (Exodus 22:4): “[When a man lets his lifestock loose to graze in another’s land, and so allows a field or a vineyard to be grazed bare,] he must make restitution (from the best) for the impairment of that field or vineyard.” This Tanna [of our Mishnah] thinks that it is the best field of the one who suffered damage that is spoken of in the Biblical verse, but for the sake of the social order, the Sages said that the one who caused the damage should pay from the best of his property, even if they (i.e., his properties) are better than the best of the one who suffered the damage, in order that we should be careful from causing damage.
ובעל חוב בבינונית – that from the Torah he does not collect other than from the lowest quality land of the estate, as it is written (Deuteronomy 24:11): “[You must remain outside,] while the man to whom you made the loan brings the pledge out to you.” But it is not the manner of a person to bring out other than the worst of his possessions, but for the sake of the social order, they [i.e., the Sages] said that the borrower pays with his middle-range [property, in order that we not shut the door to borrowers.
וכתובת אשה בזבורית – for we do not suspect her to shut the door, for more than a man wants to marry, a woman wants to be married.
