Commentary for Avodah Zarah 53:16
<big><strong>גמ׳</strong></big> מאי ריפוי ממון ומאי ריפוי נפשות אילימא ריפוי ממון בשכר ריפוי נפשות בחנם ליתני מתרפאין מהן בשכר אבל לא בחנם
GEMARA. What is “healing relating to money” and what is “personal healing”? Shall we say that “healing relating to money” means for payment and “personal healing” free? Then the Mishnah should have said: We may allow them to heal us for payment but not free!
Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah
If the mishnah meant to say that we can let them heal us for pay but not for free, then why not say this more directly.
