יש בשער. ששער לבן מטמא בתחילה. כשהובא אל הכהן ויש בנגע שער לבן, טמא. מה שאין כן בפשיון שאינו מטמא אלא בסוף שבוע:
ומטמא בכל מראה לובן. אפילו למטה מארבעה מראות, דכתיב (ויקרא י״ג:ג׳) ומראה הנגע עמוק, מראה הנגע עמוק ולא מראה שער לבן עמוק. משא״כ בפשיון שאין פשיון מטמא למטה מארבעה מראות, שבאותן מראות שהאום מטמא, הפשיון מטמא:
ואין בו סימן טהרה. ואילו בפשיון יש בו סימן טהרה, שאם פרח בכולו טהור:
מטמא בכל שהוא. אבל שער לבן אינו מטמא בפחות משתי שערות, דמיעוט שער שתים:
חוץ מן הנגע. כשפשה חוץ לנגע, טמא. אבל שער לבן בעינן שיהא בנגע, כדכתיב (ויקרא י״ג) ושער בנגע הפך לבן:

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.

יש בשער. ששער לבן מטמא בתחילה – when it is brought to the Kohen [for inspection] and there is in the plague a white hair, it is impure. What is not the case regarding spreading of a leprous spot which does not defile other than at the end of a week.
ומטמא בכל מראה לובן (and defiles in any appearance of the white color [of leprosy] – even below/less from four appearances, as it is written (Leviticus 13:3): "ומראה הנגע עמוק"/“and the affection appears to be deeper than [the skin of his body, it is a leprous affection],” the appearance of the plague is deeper, but the appearance of white hair does not appear to be deep. Which is not the case with spreading of the plague/פסיון, for the spreading does not defile below/less than four appearances, for in those appearances that the starting point of leprosy/the substance defiles, the spreading of a leprous spot defiles.
ואין בו סימן טהרה (no token of cleanness applies to it) – whereas with the spreading of a leprous spot there is a token of cleanness that applies to it, for if it spread all over, it is pure.
מטמא בכל שהוא – but the white hair does not defile with less than two hairs, for the least of hair is two.
חוץ מן הנגע – that when it spread outside of the plague, it is impure But regarding the white hair we require that it be in the plague, as it is written (Leviticus 13:3): "ושער בנגע הפך לבן"/“if hair in the affected patch turned white.”
