(Mishnah): We may annul vows [of a wife or daughter] on Shabbos.

(Beraisa): This is both vows [about something] needed for Shabbos, and vows not needed for Shabbos. We may ask [a Chacham to permit] vows needed for Shabbos.

Inference: What is not needed for Shabbos, no, for a Chacham can permit it tomorrow.

Remark: According to R. Yosi bei Rebbi Yehudah and R. Lazar bei R. Shimon, who say that Hafaras Nedarim is me'Es la'Es, even Nedarim not needed for Shabbos, he cannot annul. (I.e. not only one cannot permit such Nedarim, one cannot even annul them, for he can annul after Shabbos.)

Retraction: We can say that [the Beraisa] is like everyone; she vowed at the beginning of Shabbos night. (He cannot annul after Shabbos, for 24 hours will have passed.)

(R. Avahu citing R. Yochanan): If a husband said 'there is no vow here' or 'there is no Shevu'ah here', it has no effect (these are expressions of Hataras Chacham, and not of Hafaras Ba'al). If a Chacham said 'it is Mufar (annulled) for you', it is Batel for you', it has no effect (these are expressions of Hafarah, and not of Hatarah);

Rather, this one must [permit] like his law, and this one must [permit] like his law. A husband says 'Mufar for you' or 'Batel for you', and a Chacham says 'there is no vow here' or 'there is no Shevu'ah here.'

Question (R. Yochanan): Early Chachamim were asked, may one ask to permit his Kiyum?

Question: What is the case?

If a woman vowed, and her husband heard and did not annul [that day, which is like Kiyum], obviously he cannot annul for her as a husband. Can he permit for her like a Chacham (if he is a Chacham)?

Question: What is the case?

If they are vows between him and her, this is like his owns vows! (Surely he cannot permit them like a Chacham!)

Answer: Rather, they are vows [of Inuy Nefesh] between her and others. (If they are not of Inuy Nefesh, a husband cannot annul them, and also Kiyum does not apply! - PF)

Question: (What was the question to early Chachamim?) Is it not R. Yehudah [who says that a Chacham cannot permit his wife's vows between her and others, and Chachamim permit - Nega'im 2:5]?!

Answer: [Our text of that Mishnah] taught 'R. Yehudah'. R. Chiyah taught so in the name of Chachamim. (They asked which text is correct.)

Question: May [a Chacham] permit vows at night? (Perhaps this is like judgment, which is during the day.)

Answer: A husband's [Hafarah of a] Neder, about which it says "b'Yom", he can annul at night. A Chacham's [Hatarah of] Nedarim, about which it does not say b'Yom, all the more so [he can permit at night]!

Question: May [a Chacham] permit through a translator?

Answer: We learn from the following. R. Ba bar Zutra was a translator for R. Yochanan for a woman who did not understand [Leshon ha'Kodesh, or even] Arame'ic.

(Beraisa): We ask [to permit vows] only [from Chachamim] cloaked (the way judges judge), and the [Chacham] who is asked, he sits.

The one who asks must stand. We learn from this verse - "v'Amdu Shnei ha'Anashim Asher Lahem ha'Riv";

Question: This teaches only about litigants. What is the source for one who asks Halachos and Agados?

Answer: [The Torah could have written] 'Amdu'. [Rather, it wrote] "v'Amdu" [to teach also about Halachos and Agados].

Rav Acha bar Papa went to permit the vow of R. Imi. [R. Imi] delayed while standing in order [for Rav Acha bar Papa] to say 'there is no vow here.' (This is the minimum time that he must stand.)

Note: We find that Rav Nachman stood when Rav Huna's wife came for judgment, for a Chacham's wife is like her husband. R. Imi (the Bavli calls him R. Ami) was the greatest Kohen of Eretz Yisrael (Megilah 22a, Tosfos Bava Basra 34a), so Rav Acha bar Papa needed to stand for him. Therefore, R. Imi stood for the minimum time necessary; if not, it is l'Chatchilah to stand the entire time. (PF)

R. Mana went to permit the vow of Gamliel of Kuntiyah. [Gamliel] delayed while standing in order to say 'there is no vow here, there is no Shevu'ah here.' (Perhaps R. Mana stood for him, for Gamliel was older, therefore he stood for the minimum time.)

R. Mana went to permit the vow of Gamliel, his grandson. [Gamliel] told him 'do not do to me like you did to my grandfather! Rather, sit, and I will stand.' (Gamliel was concerned lest R. Mana fear that if he does not stand for him, like he stood for his grandfather, he will be insulted. Therefore, he told him 'do not stand for me at all! The entire time, I will stand and you will sit, for this is l'Chatchilah.' I explained this based on RIDVAZ, with additions.)
