אמר בר המדורי אמר שמואל: קרומיות של מחצלת — מותר לטלטלן בשבת. מאי טעמא? אמר רבא, בר המדורי אסברה לי: מחצלת גופה למאי חזיא — לכסויי בה עפרא, הני נמי חזיין לכסויי בהו טינופא.
Bar Hamduri said that Shmuel said: With regard to shreds of reeds that separated from a mat, it is permitted to move them on Shabbat. The Talmud asks: What is the reason for this? Rava said: Bar Hamduri explained it to me: The mat itself, for what use is it suited? It is suited to cover dirt with it. These shreds, too, are suited to cover filth with them.
אמר רבי זירא אמר רב: שירי פרוזמיות — אסור לטלטלן בשבת. אמר אביי: במטלניות שאין בהן שלש על שלש, דלא חזיין לא לעניים ולא לעשירים.
R' Zeira said that Rav said: With regard to the remains of cloaks [perozemiyyot], it is prohibited to move them on Shabbat. Abaye said: This is referring to small rags that do not have an area of 3 by 3 fingerbreadths, that are neither suited for use by the poor nor by the wealthy.
תנו רבנן: שברי תנור ישן הרי הן ככל הכלים הניטלין בחצר, דברי רבי מאיר. רבי יהודה אומר: אין ניטלין. העיד רבי יוסי משום רבי אליעזר בן יעקב על שברי תנור ישן שניטלין בשבת, ועל כיסויו שאינו צריך בית יד.
A baraita states in the Tosefta: The shards of an old oven may be moved in a courtyard on Shabbat like all of the vessels that may be moved in a courtyard on Shabbat; this is the statement of R' Meir. R' Yehuda says: They may not be moved. R' Yosei testified in the name of R' Eliezer ben Ya’akov about shards of an old oven that may be moved on Shabbat, and about its cover, which does not require a handle.
במאי קמיפלגי? אמר אביי: בעושין מעין מלאכה, ואין עושין מעין מלאכתן קמיפלגי. ואזדא רבי יהודה לטעמיה, ורבי מאיר לטעמיה.
The Talmud asks: With regard to what do they disagree? Abaye said: It is with regard to shards when they serve some function but do not serve a function similar to their own original function that they disagree. And R' Yehuda follows his own line of reasoning, and R' Meir follows his own line of reasoning, as they differed in the Mishnah.
