אין מגלגלין בטופח. מין קטנית דק, שקורין לו בערבי גילבא״ן. ורמב״ם פי׳ שהוא מין זרע שקורין לו קורטמ״ן ודומה לשעורים. ואומר ר״מ שאין מגלגלין זה המין עם שאר מיני זרעים, לקצור אותם ביחד, כי הלקט שהיה ראוי ליפול משאר מיני זרעים יפול מזה המין הגרוע ונמצא מפסיד לעניים:
וחכמים מתירים מפני שאפשר. שיפול לקט משאר זרעים כמו מן הטופח. והלכה כחכמים. פי׳ אחר אין מעלין מים בגלגל מן הבור להשקות את השדה או להרביצה עד שיהא משקה טופח עליה בשעה שהעניים באים בשביל הלקט, מפני שהוא מפסיד לעניים. וחכמים מתירין, מפני שאפשר שישומו ההפסד של עניים בזה ויתן בעל השדה כפי השומא שישומו עליו, ולר׳ מאיר דאמר אין מגלגלין שמין לבעל הבית הפסדו ונוטל מן העניים:

Mishnah Yomi FAQ
What is Mishnah Yomi?
Mishnah Yomi is a daily study program where participants study two mishnayot (individual teachings from the Mishnah) every day. By following this program, one can complete the entire Mishnah in about six years.
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.

אין מגלגלין בטופח – a form of thin pulse, which we call in Arabic Gilabaan. But Maimonides explained that it is a kind of seed which we call it Kortmin, and it is likened to barley. And Rabbi Meir states that we don’t irrigate this species with other kinds of seeds, to reap them together, for the greening that was appropriate to fall from the other kinds of seeds would fall from this worst species and it is found to cause loss to the poor.
וחכמים מתירים מפני שאפשר – that gleanings will fall from the rest of the seeds as from the irrigating engine. And the Halakha is according to the Sages. Another explanation: We don’t bring up water in a wheel from the well to water the field or to sprinkle it until the irrigating engine waters on it at the time when the poor come for the gleanings, because it causes loss to the poor. But the Sages permit it, since it is possible that they would estimate the loss of the poor in this and give the owner the family according to the estimation that they would estimate upon it, and for Rabbi Meir who stated that we don’t irrigate, we estimate for the owner of the house his loss and take it from the poor.
