שנפסלו משתיית הבהמה. כגון מחמת סרחון. אבל שנפסלו מחמת טיט, אפילו בקרקע פסולים:
בכלים פסולים. דלא תקון רבנן נטילה אלא בראויין לשתיית בהמה:
בקרקע כשרים. להטביל הידים דהא מקוה נינהו וכל גופו טובל בהן, ידיו לא כל שכן:
קומוס. גומ"א בלע"ז:
וקנקנתום. ודריאול״י. ומזהיר כעין זכוכית:
עשה בהן מלאכה או ששרה בהן פתו פסולין. משום דבטלן ונשתנו מתורת מים:
אפילו נתכוין לשרות בזה. בתמיהה, וכי אפילו נתכוין לשרות פתו במקום אחד ונפל במקום אחר יהיו פסולים, והלא לא נתכוין ולא בטלם, אלא ודאי כשרים הם. ואין הלכה כר׳ שמעון התמני:

ידים פרק א׳ משנה ד׳
Bartenura
או שמיחה בהן את המדות (or he scrubbed measures in it) – the moistness that became attached to them, and they don’t leave other than with force. For this reason, it teaches the language of מיחוי/cleansing, like "מיחוי קרביו"/the cleansing of the bowels that is taught in the Mishnah of [Tractate] Pesahim, in the chapter [six – 68a]: “these things.”
פוסל בחדשים – for even though they are clean, it is not customary to use them until he rinses them first. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yossi.
או שמיחה בהן את המדות. לחלוחית שנדבקה בהן, ואינה יוצאה אלא בדוחק. להכי תני לשון מיחוי, כמו מיחוי קרביו דתנן בפסחים פרק אלו דברים (פסחים דף ס״ח):
פוסל בחדשים. דאע״פ שהם נקיים, אין רגילות להשתמש בהם עד שידיחום תחילה. ואין הלכה כר׳ יוסי:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ

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.

שנפסלו משתיית בהמה - as for example, on account of offensive smell/stench. But if it became unfit on account of plaster/mud/clay, even in the ground, it is unfit.
בכלים פסולים – for the Rabbis did not establish pouring [water on the hands] other than with what appropriate for animals to drink.
בקרקע כשרים – to ritually immerse the hands for purification, for they are a Mikveh and one immerses in them all of his body, his hands is it not all the more so?
קומוס (gum, resin) – GUMA in the foreign language.
וקנקנתום (vitriol, shoe-black) - VIDRIOLI. And it shines like a kind of glass/crystal.
עשה בהן מלאכה או ששרה בהן פתו פסולין - because he abolished them and they became changed from the category of water.
אפילו נתכוין לשרות בזה – with astonishment. And even if he intended to soak his bread in one place and it fell into another place, they would be unfit, for didn’t he not intend and did not abolish them? But rather, they are definitely kosher/fit. But the Halakah is not according to Rabbi Shimon the Temani.
