נאמנים. העניים לומר חטים הללו של לקט שכחה ופאה הן, ופטורים מן המעשר:
בשעתן. בשעת הקציר:
בכל שנתו. בשנה שלישית ובשנה ששית, שמעשר עני נוהג בהן:
ובן לוי נאמן לעולם. דמעשר ראשון נוהג בכל שנה, וכיון דאמר של מעשר ראשון הם לא חיישינן שמא לא הפריש מהן תרומת מעשר, דכי היכי דלא נחשדו ישראל על תרומה גדולה כך לא נחשד בן לוי על תרומת מעשר:
אלא על דבר שבני אדם נוהגין כן. נוהגים לתת להם כן ולא על דבר שאין רגילים לתת להם כיוצא בו, ולקמן מפרש ואזיל:
Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Peah Perek 8 Mishnah 3
פאה פרק ח׳ משנה ג׳
Bartenura
נאמנים על החיטים – [they are believed] to say that they are of the Poor Man’s tithe that was given to me, but they are not believed to say that flour and this bread is of the Poor Man’s tithe, that flour and bread were given to me, for it is not the manner to distribute [processed] Poor Man’s tithe of flour and bread.
שעורה של אורז – there are those who explain spike of rice, for it was not their manner to distributer rice of the Poor Man’s Tithe other than spike/ears of corn. And there are those who explain barley of of rice prior to its being crushed in a mortar and the remove of its shell [it is called barley] and after threshing while its hide is on it, it is the practice to distribute it to the poor.
גריסין – that they are ground in a millstone of grist-grinder’s mills.
נאמנים על השמן – it is the manner to distribute the Poor Man’s Tithe in oil.
ואין נאמנים לומר של זיתי נקוף הוא – the olives left on the tree for the poor/the gleanings are from the gifts of the poor, that we beat and knock the olive to empty the olives that remained from the harvesting. And this striking is the language like pounding an olive. But the poor person is not believed to state that this oil I removed from pounded olives and he is exempt from tithes, because it is not customary to make oil from pounded olives. But the poor person who states that this flour or bread is from the gleanings, forgotten sheaf and corner of the field that I gleaned and that I grinded the flour and baked the bread, is believed for it is the manner of the poor person to make bread from gleanings, forgotten sheaves and the corner of the field.
נאמנים על החטים. לומר של מעשר עני הם שניתן לי, אבל אין נאמנים לומר קמח ופת זה של מעשר עני, שניתן לי קמח ופת, דאין דרך לחלק מעשר עני קמח ופת:
שעורה של אורז. אית דמפרשי שבולת של אורז, שלא היה דרכם לחלק אורז של מעשר עני אלא בשבולים. ואית דמפרשי שעורה של אורז קודם שנכתש במכתש והוסרה קליפתו [שעורה קורא] לו, ולאחר דישה בעודו בקליפתו דרך לחלקו לעניים:
גריסין. שטחנן בריחים של גרוסות:
נאמנים על השמן. שדרך לחלק מעשר עני בשמן:
ואין נאמנים לומר של זיתי נקוף הוא. זיתי נקוף ממתנות עניים הן, שחובטים ומנקפים בזית להשיר הזיתים שנשארו מן המסיקה. ונקוף לשון כנוקף זית. ואין העני נאמן לומר שמן זה הוצאתי מזיתי נקוף ופטור מן המעשר, לפי שאין רגילין לעשות שמן מזיתי נקוף. אבל עני האומר קמח זה או פת זו מלקט שכחה ופאה שלקטתי וטחנתי קמח ואפיתי לחם, נאמן שדרך העני לעשות לחם מלקט שכחה ופאה:

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.

נאמנים – the poor [are believed] to state that this wheat is of gleanings, forgotten sheaves and the corner of the field, and they are exempt from tithing.
בשעתן – at the time of the harvest.
בכל שנתו – in the third year and in the sixth year where the Poor Tithe applies to them.
ובן לוי נאמן לעולם – since the First Tithe applies in each year, and since that he said that they are First Tithe, we do not suspect lest he did not separate from them the Tithe of the Tithe, and just as an Israelite was not suspected regarding the Large Terumah (i.e., two percent to the Kohen), the Levite was not suspect on the Tithe of the Tithe (that was given by a Levite to a Kohen).
אלא על דבר שבני אדם נוהגין כן – It was practice to give them this and not on anything that they were not accustomed to give them similar to this, and further on, it explains this.
