Question (R. Ba, to R. Yirmeyah): What is the text [of our Mishnah - Mei] Dekarin or Dekalin?

Answer #1 (R. Yirmeyah): It is Dekarin, for [the water] stings the gall bladder.

Answer #2 (R. Yonah): It is not reasonable that the text rather says Dekalin, for [the water] comes from between two date trees?!

(Shimon bar Ba citing R. Chaninah): One who whispers [for the sake of Refu'ah on Shabbos] may put [a Kli with oil] on his head and whisper, as long as he does not put [directly on his head] by hand or through a Kli.

(R. Yakov bar Idi citing R. Yochanan citing R. Yanai): He may put by hand or through a Kli.

Question: What do they argue about?

Answer #1: [They argue about] making [the oil] repulsive. The one who permits putting by hand or through a Kli holds one may make it repulsive [through putting it on the head];

The one who says that he puts [a Kli of] oil on his head holds that one may not make it repulsive [even on a weekday. He taught about Shabbos to teach that when he just puts the Kli on his head, it is permitted even on Shabbos.]

Note: We explained this like GRA (Bi'urim, Ma'aser Sheni 2:1). He did not explain why he forbids. Only below we discuss Ma'aser Sheni. Perhaps it is due to Bal Tashchis. Alternatively, we discuss Shemitah oil; this was the previous matter mentioned in the Sugya in Ma'aser Sheni.

Answer #2 (R. Yonah): They argue about [oil of] Ma'aser Sheni. The one who permits putting [on the head, this is considered anointing, so] it is permitted with Ma'aser Sheni. The one who forbids by hand or through a Kli, it is forbidden with Ma'aser Sheni.

Question (R. Yosah): Is everything permitted on Shabbos (it is not Refu'ah) permitted with Ma'aser Sheni, and everything forbidden on Shabbos is forbidden with Ma'aser Sheni?!

A Beraisa teaches that a woman may rinse herself and her son with wine due to sweat. This is forbidden with Terumah. Terumah and Ma'aser Sheni have the same law!

Question: What was the conclusion [about whispering on oil]?

Answer: [It is permitted,] as long as he does not do on Shabbos like he does during the week.

We may whisper for the eye, intestines, snakes and scorpions, and we may pass [a Kli] over the eye [to cool it];

A case occurred in which R. Akiva's eye was heated, and they passed Kelim over it on Shabbos.

(Rav and R. Chiya Rabah): [Out of 100 people who die,] 99 die due to Ayin [ha'Ra], and one dies bi'Ydei Shamayim (not due to other people).

(R. Chaninah and Shmuel): Ninety-nine die due to the cold, and one dies bi'Ydei Shamayim (not due to his own negligence).

Rav said like he holds, and R. Chaninah said like he holds. Since Rav [and also R. Chiya, initially] lived there (in Bavel), where Ayin ha'Ra is common, he said that 99 die due to Ayin, and one bi'Ydei Shamayim;

R. Chaninah, since he lived in Tziporin, which is cold there, he said that 99 die due to the cold, and one bi'Ydei Shamayim. (Perhaps also Shmuel lived there at some point. He was Rebbi's doctor (Bava Metzi'a 86a), and when Rebbi fell sick, they brought him to Tzipori (Kesuvos 103b).)

(R. Shmuel bar Nachman citing R. Yochanan): Ninety-nine die due to heat, and one bi'Ydei Shamayim.

(Rabanan): Ninety-nine die due to negligence, and one bi'Ydei Shamayim.

(R. Chuniya Yakov of Efratayim citing Rebbi): "V'Hesir Hash-m Mimcha Kol Choli'' - this is fever [which transpires in all illnesses].

(R. Eliezer): "V'Nasan Ol Barzel Al Tzavarecha'' - this is anxiety.

(R. Avun): "V'Hesir Hash-m Mimcha Kol Choli'' - this is the Yetzer ha'Ra. Its beginning is sweet, and its end is bitter.

(R. Tanchuma citing R. Elazar, and R.Menachamah citing Rav): "V'Hesir Hash-m Mimcha Kol Choli'' - this is melancholy.

(R. Eliezer): Ninety-nine die due to melancholy, and one bi'Ydei Shamayim.

One may bathe in the Yam ha'Gadol (Mediterranean Sea) and [hot spring] water of Tiverya, even though he intends for Refu'ah, but not in water in which flax was soaked, or in the Sedom (Dead) Sea.

Limitation: This is when he intends for Refu'ah, but if he [immerses] to become Tahor from Tum'ah, it is permitted.

(R. Shmuel, the brother of R. Berachiyah): [It is permitted] as long as he does not delay [in the water].

(Beraisa): We may anoint wine and oil mixed together for a Choleh on Shabbos, as long as it was mixed before Shabbos, but if it was not mixed before Shabbos, it is forbidden.

(R. Shimon ben Elazar): R. Meir used to permit to mix wine and oil and anoint a Choleh on Shabbos. He fell sick and we wanted to do so for him on Shabbos, and he did not let us;

We said to him, Rebbi, you negate your words in your lifetime!

He told us, even though I used to say so, my heart was not bold enough in all my days to transgress my colleagues' words.
