Mesorat%20hashas for Berakhot 49:10

אמר אביי מנא אמינא לה דתנן הטמא עומד תחת האילן והטהור עובר טמא טהור עומד תחת האילן וטמא עובר טהור ואם עמד טמא וכן באבן המנוגעת

Abbai said : Whence do I derive my opinion ? For there is a Mishnaic teaching : If a ritually unclean person is standing under a tree and a person who is ritually clean passes by him, the latter also becomes defiled. If, however, a person ritually clean is standing under a tree and an unclean person passes by, the former remains in his state of purity; but should [the unclean person] remain standing there, then the former becomes unclean. The same law holds good with a stone which has become infected.
