Bartenura
בודקים אור ארבעה עשר ובארבעה עשר שחרית. הכי קאמר, באחד מג׳ פרקים הללו בלבד בודקים, ולאחר ג׳ פרקים הללו אם לא בדק שוב אינו בודק:
בתוך המועד. בשעה ששית שהוא מועד הביעור:
לאחר המועד. עד שתחשך. ואית דמפרשי בתוך המועד, בתוך הפסח. לאחר המועד, לאחר הפסח. כדי שלא יתערב לו חמץ שעבר עליו הפסח שהוא אסור בהנאה בחמץ של היתר שנעשה לאחר הפסח. ור׳ יהודה סבר לאחר הביעור, דהיינו לאחר זמן איסורו של חמץ, לא יבדוק כלל דלמא אתי למיכל מיניה. ורבנן אמרי יבדוק לאחר זמן איסורו, ולא חיישינן דלמא אתי למיכל מיניה כיון שכל עצמו מחזר עליו לשורפו. ואין הלכה כרבי יהודה:

Mishnayos Pesachim Perek 1 Mishnah 4
פסחים פרק א׳ משנה ד׳
Bartenura
ושורפין בתחלת שש – And even though that the entire sixth hour, according to the Torah is permissible [to burn the Hametz], the Rabbis decreed on it, lest they err and think about the seventh [hour] that it is the sixth [hour]. But [regarding] the fifth hour, they would not err to say [about] the seventh hour that is the fifth [hour], and it is permitted.
תולין כל חמש – and he doesn’t eat [Hametz], as a decree because on a cloudy day, that they would err and think about the seventh [hour] is the fifth [hour]. But however, he doesn’t have to burn it, and can feed it to his cattle. But [during] the sixth [hour], even deriving benefit is prohibit from the Rabbis, as a decree because of the seventh hour. And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yehuda.
ושורפין בתחלת שש. ואע״ג דכל שעה שישית מדאורייתא שריא, גזרו רבנן עליה דלמא טעו וסבור על השביעית שהיא שישית. אבל החמישית לא טעו למימר על השביעית שהיא חמישית, ומותר:
תולין כל חמש. ואינו אוכל, גזרה משום יום המעונן דטעי וסבר על השביעית שהיא חמישית. ומיהו לשרוף אינו צריך, ומאכיל לבהמתו. אבל ששית אף בהנאה אסור מדרבנן, גזירה משום שביעית. והלכה כר״י:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ
What is Mishnah Yomi?

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.

בודקים אור ארבעה עשר ובארבעה עשר שחרית – This is how it should be understood: In one of these three periods alone, we search [for Hametz], but after these three periods, if he did not [conduct a] search, he does not have to do go back and [conduct a] search.
בתוך המועד – At the sixth hour which is the appointed time for removal [of the Hametz].
לאחר המועד – until it gets dark. And there are those who explain [the phrase] "בתוך המועד"/the appointed time [as] in the midst of Passover; and [the phrase] "לאחר המועד"/after the appointed time [as] after Passover [entirely], in order that he would not mix/combine for himself Hametz/leavened products that over which Passover had passed (i.e., which had been in the house during Passover) [from which] it is prohibited to derive benefit with permitted Hametz which was made after Passover. And Rabbi Yehuda holds after the removal [of the Hametz], that is after the time of prohibition of Hametz, he should not do a search at all perhaps he will come to eat from it. And the Rabbis say that he should do a search after the time of its prohibition, and we should not be concerned that perhaps he would come to eat from it since his whole essence is moving back and forth to burn it. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yehuda.
