החושב על מי חטאת לשתות ר׳ אליעזר פוסל. דאפסלו להו במחשבה:
כשיטה. החבית לשתות או ליקח ממנה מים לשתות. אבל במחשבה גרידא לא פסיל:
במים שאינן מקודשין. שמלאן כדי ליתן בהן את האפר ועדיין לא נתן:
רבי אליעזר אומר כשיטה. והכא לא פסיל להו במחשבה. דכיון דמים קדושים הן, אמלוכי ממליך וחוזר בו ממחשבתו, הילכך לא פסיל ר׳ אליעזר עד שיטה:
רבי יהושע אומר כשישתה. מפני משקה שבפיו שחוזר ומתערב עם המים ופסיל להו:
ואם גרגר. לשון גרגרת. כלומר שלא שתה כדרך השותים אלא שפך המים בגרונו:
כשר. דליכא משקה פיו בחבית. והלכה כרבי יהושע בתרוייהו:

Mishnayos Parah Perek 9 Mishnah 5
פרה פרק ט׳ משנה ה׳
Bartenura
שלא יעשם תקלה לאחרים – that they reach the plaster/mud and they will be defiled in the waters of purification that are in it.
ר' יהודה אומר בטלו – in the plaster/mud. But further, he does not defile after they have been trampled/stamped [in the mud].
מעת לעת – if it was slaughtered within twenty-four hours of its drinking. But it delayed more than this, they became consumed in its intestines.
רבי יהודה אומר באלו במעיה – and even if he slaughtered it within twenty-four hours, its flesh is pure. But the Halakah is not according to Rabbi Yehuda in both of these.
שלא יעשם תקלה לאחרים. שיגעו בטיט ויטמאו במי חטאת שבו:
ר׳ יהודה אומר בטלו. בטיט, ותו לא מטמא מאחר שגבלן:
מעת לעת. אם שחטה בתוך מעת לעת של שתייה. אבל שהתה טפי מהכי, נתעכלו במעיה:
רבי יהודה אומר בטלו במעיה. ואפילו שחטה בתוך מעת לעת בשרה טהור. ואין הלכה כר׳ יהודה בתרוייהו:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ
What is Mishnah Yomi?

What is the Mishnah?
The Mishnah is the first major written collection of Jewish oral traditions, forming the basis of the Talmud. It dates back to around 200 CE and consists of teachings and discussions of Jewish law by various rabbis.
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.

החושב על מי חטאת לשתות ר' אליעזר פוסל – for he invalidates it through intention/thought.
כשיטה – [that he turns up] the barrel to drink, or to take from it water to drink, but mere intention/thought does not invalidate it.
במים שאינן מקודשין – that he filled them in order to place in them the ashes, but he did not yet place them.
רבי אליעזר אומר כשיטה – but here he does not invalidate them with intention, for since they are mixed waters, he was persuaded/reconsidered to change his mind from his intention. Therefore, Rabbi Eliezer does not invalidate until he turns it up [to drink from it].
רבי יהושע אומר כשישתה – because of the liquid that is in his mouth when he returns and combines/mixes with the water, and he invalidates them.
ואם גרגר (if he poured it down his throat – as opposed to setting his lips to the vessel) – it is the language of a gullet/throat. That is to say, that he didn’t drink it in the manner of those who drink but rather, poured the water in his throat.
כשר – for there is no liquid from his mouth in the barrel. And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yehoshua in both of them.
