שעשו צרכיהן. הטילו מי רגלים:
רבי יוסי מטהר. דהא אפילו באשה גרידתא דליכא אלא חדא ספיקא, ספק בא מן המקור, ספק בא ממקום מי רגלים, מטהר רבי יוסי לעיל, וכל שכן הכא דדילמא מאיש אתי. ולא הדר תנא הכא רבי יוסי מטהר, אלא לאשמועינן ממשנה יתירתא דאפילו לכתחילה מטהר ר׳ יוסי לאשה שעושה צרכיה וראתה דם, שתתעסק בטהרות. דלא תימא דוקא דיעבד מטהר ר׳ יוסי טהרות שנתעסקה בהן, אבל לכתחילה לא אמרינן לה שתתעסק, קמשמע לן:
ור׳ שמעון מטמא. אפילו הכא דאיכא ספק ספיקא, כדקתני טעמא:
שחזקת דמים מן האשה. ולעיל פסקינן הלכה כר׳ יוסי דמטהר ואפילו בחד ספיקא, כל שכן הכא דאיכא תרתי:
Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Niddah Perek 9 Mishnah 3
נדה פרק ט׳ משנה ג׳
Bartenura
השאילה חלוקה – and afterwards she herself wore it and found upon it a bloodstain.
לנכרית או לנדה – to a heathen woman that she sees blood, that she is an adult and we knew about her that she had already seen it (i.e., blood), similar to a menstruating woman/Niddah.
הרי זו תולה בה – but she [herself] is pure. For since she (i.e., the woman who had borrowed it) was a menstruating woman, it did not put her into disarray at all. And a heathen woman also is impure and she receives blame for it. But an Israelite is pure that borrowed a garment from her pure female friend, and afterwards, her friend wore it, both of them are impure, as it is taught [further on in our Mishnah]: three women, etc. for since if she had not blamed it, it would disarray/upset her, for what good is something that upsets this one (i.e., woman) more than that one?
של אבן – that is not susceptible to receive [ritual] impurity. But the bench [that we are speaking of] in the first clause [of the Mishnah] is made of wood and it is appropriate to be defiled through the sitting of a person with gonorrhea or the menstruating woman.
אין מקבל כתמים – meaning to say that they (i.e., the Rabbis) did not make a decree on the bloodstains that are found on it. And the reason of Rabbi Nehemiah, as it is written (Isaiah 3:26): “[And her gates shall lament and mourn,] And she shall be emptied, shall sit on the ground/ונקתה לארץ תשב (see also Lamentations 2:8), since she sat on the ground that is not susceptible to receive [ritual] uncleanness, she shall be emptied/cleaned. And the same law applies to all things that are not susceptible to receive [ritual] uncleanness. And similarly, if she sat in connection with an earthenware utensil, that is not susceptible to receive [ritual] uncleanness from the outside (see Tractate Niddah 60b), or on a patch/strip of cloth that lacks three [handbreadths] by three [handbreadths] that is not susceptible to receive [ritual] uncleanness, in all of these, they (i.e., the Sages) did not decree on bloodstains that are found on them. And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Nehemiah.
השאילה חלוקה. ואח״כ לבשתה היא ומצאה עליו כתם:
לנכרית או לנדה. לנכרית שהיא רואה דם, שהיא גדולה וידענו בה שכבר ראתה, דומיא דנדה:
הרי זו תולה בה. וטהורה. דכיון דנדה היא, לא מקלקלה לה מידי. ונכרית נמי טמאה ותליא בה. אבל ישראלית טהורה ששאלה חלוק מחברתה טהורה, ואחר כך לבשתו חברתה, שתיהן טמאות, כדקתני שלש נשים וכו׳, דכיון דאי תליא בה, מקלקלא לה, מאי חזית דמקלקלת להך טפי מהך:
של אבן. דאינו מקבל טומאה. וספסל דרישא [איירי] בכלי עץ דראוי ליטמא במושב הזב והנדה:
אינו מקבל כתמים. כלומר לא גזרו על כתמים הנמצאים בו. וטעמא דר׳ נחמיה, דכתיב (ישעיה גש׳) ונקתה לארץ תשב, כיון שישבה לארץ שאינה מקבלת טומאה, נקתה. והוא הדין לכל דבר שאינו מקבל טומאה. וכן אם ישבה על גבי כלי חרס, שאין מקבל טומאה מגבו, או על גבי מטלניות של בגד שאין בהן שלש על שלש שאינן מקבלין טומאה, בכל אלו לא גזרו על כתמים הנמצאים בהם. והלכה כר׳ נחמיה:
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.

שעשו צרכיהם – that they urinated.
רבי יוסי מטהר – for even for a woman alone for which there is only one doubt, that is the doubt of whether it (i.e., the blood) comes from the interior of the womb or whether it comes from the place of the urine, Rabbi Yossi declares her pure above (see previous Mishnah), and all the more so if here if it comes from a man. But the Tanna/teacher here does not repeat that Rabbi Yossi declares her pure but rather to teach us from an extraneous Mishnah that even ab initio, Rabbi Yossi declares pure a woman who performed her needs (i.e., urination) and saw blood, that she should occupy herself in purity, and not state specifically that post-facto Rabbi Yossi declares her to maintain her purity that she was engaged with, but ab initio we state that she is not occupied in purity, this comes to teach us that the opposite is true.
ר' שמעון מטמא – even here where there is a compound uncertainty, as the reason is taught.
שחזקת דמים מן האשה – and above (i.e., in the previous Mishnah), we determined that the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yossi who declares her to be pure with one doubt, and all the more so here when there is a compound uncertainty.
