ישן ומצאו ער הבית טמא. כל מה שבבית טמא, דחיישינן שמא כשהקיץ משנתו נגע בכלים שבבית שלא ראה אותם מתחלה כשהיה ישן, שכן דרך בני אדם למשמש ולבדוק במה שלא ראו מעולם. אבל ער ומצאו ער, לא חיישינן, שכבר ראה כל אשר בבית כשהיה ער:
עד מקום שהוא יכול לפשוט את ידו. כל הכלים שיכול להגיע להם כשיושיט ידו מן המקום שהיה ישן שם, חיישינן להו שמא נגע בהם, אבל לא חיישינן שמא הלך בבית ונגע בכלים. והלכה כחכמים:
Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Taharos Perek 7 Mishnah 3
טהרות פרק ז׳ משנה ג׳
Bartenura
המניח אומנים וכו' – because artisans rely upon touching/feeling everything that is in the house, and I might think that in this, the Sages agree with Rabbi Meir that the entire house is ritually impure, it comes to tech us that even with artisans, the Rabbis dispute him and state that there is no impurity other than up to the place where they are able to stretch forth their hands and to touch. And the Halakha is according to the Sages.
המניח אומנים וכו׳ משום דאומנין סמכו דעתייהו למשמש כל אשר בבית, וסלקא דעתך אמינא דבהא מודו חכמים לרבי מאיר דכל הבית טמא, קמ״ל דאפילו באומנין פליגי רבנן עליה ואמרי דאין טמא אלא עד מקום שהן יכולין לפשוט את ידם וליגע. והלכה כחכמים:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ
What is Mishnah Yomi?

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.

ישן ומצאו ער הבית טמא – everything that is in the house is ritually impure, for we are concerned that perhaps when he woke up from his sleep he touched utensils that are in the house for he didn’t see them initially when he was asleep, for it is the manner of people to touch/feel and check that which they had never seen. But someone who is awake and he was found awake, we are not concerned, for he already saw everything that is in the house while he was awake.
עד מקום שהוא יכול לפשוט את ידו – all the vessels that he is able to reach them when he stretches forth his hand from the place where he was sleeping, we are concerned lest he touched them, but we are not concerned that perhaps he walked in the house and touched vessels. And the Halakha is according to the Sages.
