[Chullin 105b:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/105b:1)

סוֹלֶדֶת בָּהֶן, אֲבָל הַיָּד סוֹלֶדֶת בָּהֶן אֵין נוֹטְלִין בָּהֶן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**recoil [*soledet*] from** the water’s heat. **But** if **the hand recoils from it, one may not wash with it.**


###### Chullin 105b:2
[Chullin 105b:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/105b:2)

וְאִיכָּא דְּמַתְנֵי לַהּ אַסֵּיפָא, אַחֲרוֹנִים אֵין נוֹטְלִין אֶלָּא בְּצוֹנֵן, אֲבָל בְּחַמִּין – לֹא. אָמַר רַב יִצְחָק בַּר יוֹסֵף אָמַר רַבִּי יַנַּאי: לֹא שָׁנוּ אֶלָּא שֶׁהַיָּד סוֹלֶדֶת בָּהֶן, אֲבָל אֵין הַיָּד סוֹלֶדֶת בָּהֶן – נוֹטְלִין. מִכְּלָל דְּרִאשׁוֹנִים, אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁהַיָּד סוֹלֶדֶת בָּהֶן – מוּתָּר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And there are those who teach** a version of **this** statement **with regard to the latter clause** of the *baraita*: For **final** waters, **one may wash only with cold** water, **but** one may **not** wash **with hot** water. **Rav Yitzḥak bar Yosef says** that **Rabbi Yannai says: They taught** that one may not use hot water **only** in a case **where** the water is so hot that **the hand recoils from it, but if the hand does not recoil from it, one may wash** with it. The Gemara comments: One can learn **by inference** from this version of the statement **that** in the case of **first** waters, **even if** the water is so hot that **the hand recoils from it,** it is **permitted** to use it for washing.


###### Chullin 105b:3
[Chullin 105b:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/105b:3)

אֶמְצָעִיִּים רְשׁוּת. אָמַר רַב נַחְמָן: לֹא שָׁנוּ אֶלָּא בֵּין תַּבְשִׁיל לְתַבְשִׁיל, אֲבָל בֵּין תַּבְשִׁיל לִגְבִינָה – חוֹבָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ The *baraita* states that **middle** waters are **optional. Rav Naḥman says: They taught** this **only** with regard to washing the hands **between** one **cooked dish and** another **cooked dish** served at a meal. **But between a cooked dish and cheese** there is **an obligation** to wash one’s hands.


###### Chullin 105b:4
[Chullin 105b:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/105b:4)

אָמַר רַב יְהוּדָה בְּרֵיהּ דְּרַבִּי חִיָּיא: מִפְּנֵי מָה אָמְרוּ מַיִם אַחֲרוֹנִים חוֹבָה? שֶׁמֶּלַח סְדוֹמִית יֵשׁ, שֶׁמְּסַמֵּא אֶת הָעֵינַיִם. אָמַר אַבָּיֵי: וּמִשְׁתְּכַח כִּי קוּרְטָא בְּכוֹרָא. אֲמַר לֵיהּ רַב אַחָא בְּרֵיהּ דְּרָבָא לְרַב אָשֵׁי: כָּל מִלְחָא מַאי? אֲמַר לֵיהּ: לָא מִבַּעְיָא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ The *baraita* further teaches that final waters are an obligation. **Rav Yehuda, son of Rabbi Ḥiyya, says: For what** reason did the Sages **say that final waters are an obligation?** It is **because Sodomite salt is** sometimes **present,** a small amount of **which blinds the eyes.** Since Sodomite salt could remain on one’s hands, one must wash them after eating. **Abaye said: And** this type of dangerous salt **is present** in the proportion of **a pinch** [***korta***] **in** an entire ***kor*** of regular salt. **Rav Aḥa, son of Rava, said to Rav Ashi:** If one **measured salt** between meals, **what** is the *halakha*? Must he wash his hands afterward? **He said to him: It is not necessary** to say this; he is certainly obligated to do so.

[Chullin 105b:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/105b:5)

אָמַר אַבָּיֵי: מֵרֵישׁ הֲוָה אָמֵינָא, הַאי דְּלָא מָשׁוּ מַיָּא בָּתְרָאֵי עַל אַרְעָא – מִשּׁוּם זוּהֲמָא. אֲמַר לִי מָר: מִשּׁוּם דְּשָׁרְיָא רוּחַ רָעָה עֲלַיְיהוּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ **Abaye said: At first I would say** that **this** *halakha* **that one may not wash** his hands with **final waters over the ground** is **due to messiness.** But the **Master,** Rabba, **said to me** that it is **because an evil spirit rests upon** the water and passersby are liable to be afflicted.


###### Chullin 105b:6
[Chullin 105b:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/105b:6)

וְאָמַר אַבָּיֵי: מֵרֵישׁ הֲוָה אָמֵינָא, הַאי דְּלָא שָׁקֵיל מִידֵּי מִפָּתוּרָא כִּי נָקֵיט אִינִישׁ כָּסָא לְמִשְׁתֵּי, שֶׁמָּא יֶאֱרַע דְּבַר קַלְקָלָה בַּסְּעוּדָה. אֲמַר לִי מָר: מִשּׁוּם דְּקָשֵׁי לְרוּחַ צְרָדָא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And Abaye** also **said: At first I would say** that the reason for **this** statement of the Sages **that one should not take anything from the table when a person is holding a cup to drink,** is **lest a mishap occur at the meal,** i.e., the one holding the cup might have wanted the item that was taken, and since he is unable to speak he will choke in his anger. But **the Master** subsequently **said to me** that it is **because it is bad for** one’s health, causing **a spirit of** pain in **half** his head, i.e., a migraine.

[Chullin 105b:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/105b:7)

וְלָא אֲמַרַן, אֶלָּא דְּשָׁקֵיל וְלָא מַהְדַּר, אֲבָל מִשְׁקַל וְאַהְדּוֹרֵי – לֵית לַן בַּהּ. וְלָא אֲמַרַן אֶלָּא חוּץ לְאַרְבַּע אַמּוֹת, אֲבָל תּוֹךְ אַרְבַּע אַמּוֹת – לֵית לַן בַּהּ. וְלָא אֲמַרַן אֶלָּא מִידֵּי דִּצְרִיךְ לִסְעוֹדְתָּא, אֲבָל מִידֵּי דְּלָא צְרִיךְ לִסְעוֹדְתָּא – לֵית לַן בַּהּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And we said** that this practice is prohibited **only if one takes** an item from the table **and does not put** it **back. But** as for **taking and putting back, we have no** problem **with it. And** likewise, **we said** it is prohibited **only** if one takes the item **beyond four cubits** of the table. **But** if one leaves it **within four cubits, we have no** problem **with it. And** furthermore, **we said** this *halakha* **only** with regard to **an item that is necessary for the meal. But** in the case of **an item that is not necessary for the meal, we have no** problem **with it.**

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara relates that **Mar bar Rav Ashi was particular** not to remove any object from the table when someone was holding his cup in hand, **even with regard to a mortar [*asita*] and pestle [*bukhna*] for spices,** like all **items that are necessary for the meal.**

וְאָמַר אַבָּיֵי: מֵרֵישׁ הֲוָה אָמֵינָא, הַאי דְּכָנְשִׁי נִשְׁוָורָאָה – מִשּׁוּם מְנַקֵּירוּתָא. אֲמַר לִי מָר: מִשּׁוּם דְּקָשֵׁי לְעַנְיוּתָא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And Abaye** further **said: At first I would say** that **this** practice **that** people **collect the crumbs** of bread after a meal is **due to cleanliness.** But **the Master** subsequently **said to me** that it is **because** leaving them **is bad for,** i.e., it can increase, a person’s vulnerability to **poverty.**


###### Chullin 105b:10

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara relates: There was **a certain man who was pursued by the ministering angel of poverty, but** the angel **was unable to** impoverish **him, as he was exceptionally careful with regard to crumbs. One day** that man **broke** his **bread over grass,** and some crumbs fell among the blades of grass. The angel **said: Now he will certainly fall into my hands,** as he cannot collect all the crumbs. **After** the man **ate, he brought a hoe, uprooted the grass,** and **threw it into the river.** He subsequently **heard** the ministering angel of poverty **say: Woe** is me, **as that man has removed me from my house,** i.e., my position of comfort.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And Abaye said: At first I would say** that **this** practice **that** people **do not drink the foam** from the top of a beverage is followed **because** it is **repulsive.** But **the Master said to me** that it is followed **because it is bad for** one’s vulnerability to **catarrh.** The Gemara comments: **Drinking it is bad for catarrh,** while **blowing** off the foam from the drink **is bad for head** pains, and **removing it** with one’s hand **is bad for poverty.** If so, **what is its remedy?** How may one drink? He **should sink** the foam inside the beverage and then drink it.


###### Chullin 105b:12
[Chullin 105b:12](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/105b:12)

לְכַרְסָם דְּחַמְרָא – שִׁיכְרָא, דְּשִׁיכְרָא – מַיָּא, דְּמַיָּא – לֵית לֵיהּ תַּקַּנְתָּא, וְהַיְינוּ דְּאָמְרִי אִינָשֵׁי: בָּתַר עַנְיָא אָזְלָא עַנְיוּתָא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara notes: The treatment **for catarrh** caused by the foam **of wine** is **beer;** the treatment for catarrh caused by the foam **of beer** is **water;** and for catarrh caused by the foam **of water there is no remedy. And this** is in accordance with the adage **that people say: Poverty follows the poor.** Not only does a pauper have nothing to drink other than water, but there also is no treatment for the disease caused by his beverage.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And Abaye said: At first I would say** that the reason for **this** practice **that** people **do not eat vegetables from a bundle tied by the gardener** is **because it has the appearance of gluttony,** as he does not wait to untie the bundle to eat. But **the Master said to me** that it is **because** it **is bad for** one’s vulnerability to **witchcraft.**

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara relates: **Rav Ḥisda and Rabba bar Rav Huna were traveling on a boat. A certain matron said to them: Seat me together with you** on the boat, but **they did not seat her** alongside them. **She said something,** an incantation, and thereby **tied the boat** to its spot so that it could not move. **They** too **said something and** thereby **released it.** That matron **said to them: What can I do to you?** Witchcraft has no power over you, **as** after attending to your bodily functions, **you do not wipe yourselves with an earthenware shard, and you do not kill a louse** that you find **on your garments, and you do not eat vegetables from a bundle tied by the gardener.**

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And Abaye said: At first I would say** as follows: The reason for **this** practice **that** people **do not eat vegetables that fell on the table** is **because** it is **replusive.** But **the Master said to me** that it is **because it is bad for halitosis. And Abaye said: At first I would say** that the reason for **this** practice **that** people **do not sit under a gutter** is **because** of the **waste water** that pours out of it. But **the Master said to me** that it is **because demons are** commonly **found** there.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Mar bar Rav Ashi **said to it: What are you doing in a place where many** people **are found? You are the one who deviated** from the norm; **go** and **pay** them the value of the barrel of wine. The demon **said to him: Let the Master now set a time for me,** so that I can find the money, **and I will pay.** Mar bar Rav Ashi **set a time for** his payment. **When** that **time arrived,** the demon **delayed** in coming to pay. **When** the demon eventually **came,** Mar bar Rav Ashi **said to it: Why did you not come at** the **time** set for **you?** The demon **said to him:** With regard to **any item that is tied up, or sealed, or measured, or counted, we have no authority to take it.** We are unable to obtain money **until we find an ownerless item.** For this reason, it took him a long time to find enough money to pay for the barrel.
