היוצר. אומן העושה כלי חרס מוכר אפילו לחשוד על השביעית חמש כדי שמן וחמש עשרה כדי יין, וליכא למיחש שמא רוצה כולם לשמן או כולם ליין שניכרים הן אותם של יין מאותם של שמן, שהעפר שעושים ממנו כדי יין אינו דומה לעפר שעושים ממנו כדי שמן:
ואם הביא יותר מכאן מותר. ולא חיישינן שמא מן המשומר דשביעית הביא:
ומוכר לנכרים בארץ. ולא חיישינן שמא יחזור הנכרי וימכרם לישראל החשוד:
ולישראל בחוצה לארץ. ולא חיישינן שמא יוליכם בארץ, אי נמי שמא יכניס לתוכן יין ושמן של שביעית שהביא מארץ ישראל, דלא החמירו חכמים כל כך:

שביעית פרק ה׳ משנה ח׳
Bartenura
שהוא יכול לשחטה – and in whatever that we are able to leave in suspense, we do so. But the School of Shammai holds that it is not the practice at all to slaughter a cow that is about to engage in plowing.
אפילו בשעת הזרע – and we don’t say that definitely he purchases it for sowing for he wants that we assign it for eating.
שיש לו גורן – and we are not concerned lest he measures it to bring into the store house, for one can designate it for grinding it that he measures it.
ופורט לו מעות – he exchanges money with pennies.
אע"פ שהוא יודע שיש לו פועלים – and it is found that he is assisting in transgressing [working the fields on the Sabbatical Year] , that we say lest for the rest of his needs he requires it.
וכולם – if they explained that for a forbidden matter he wants them, it is forbidden.
שהוא יכול לשחטה. ובכל דהוא דמצינן למתלי תלינן. ובית שמאי סברי דאין דרך כלל לשחוט פרה העומדת לחרישה:
אפילו בשעת הזרע. ולא אמרינן ודאי לזריעה הוא לוקח, דתלינן לאכילה הוא רוצה:
שיש לו גורן. ולא חיישינן שמא מודד להכניס לאוצר, דאיכא למתלי דלטחינה הוא מודד:
ופורט לו מעות. מחליף לו מעות בפרוטות:
אע״פ שהוא יודע שיש לו פועלים. ונמצא מסייע ידי עוברי עבירה, דאמרינן שמא לשאר צרכיו הוא צריך:
וכולם. אם פירש שלדבר אסור רוצה אותם, אסור:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ

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.

היוצר – an artisan who makes earthenware vessels sells even to be suspected [of violating] the Seventh Year five pitchers of oil and fifteen pitchers of wine, and there is nothing to be anxious about lest perhaps he wants all of them for oil or all of them for wine, for they are recognized – those of wine from those of oil, that the dust that the wine pitchers make is not similar to the dust that the pitchers of oil makes from them.
ואם הביא יותר מכאן מותר – and we don’t concern ourselves lest from that he brought that which is preserved from the Seventh Year.
ומוכר לגוים בארץ – and we don’t concern ourselves less the heathen will go back and sell them to an Israelites that is suspected [of violating the Sabbatical year].
ולישראל בחוצה לארץ – and we don’t concern ourselves lest he bring them into the Land [of Israel]; alternatively, lest he place within them wine or oil of the Seventh Year that he brought from the Land of Israel, for the Sages were not that stringent.
