Mesorat%20hashas for Shevuot 46:4

אמר רב פפא הכא במונחין לפניו עסקינן שהיה לו לומר שבועה שלא אשתה אלו ודלמא אלו הוא דלא שתינא אחריני שתינא

We learnt there: [If a man says to another.] 'Give me the wheat, barley, and spelt of mine in your possession.' [and the other replies,] T swear that there is nothing of yours in my possession;' he is liable only once. [But if he says,] T swear that I have not of yours in my possession wheat, barley, and spelt;' he is liable for each one. And R. Johanan said: Even if there is only a perutah of all of them together, they combine. Now, R. Aha and Rabina disagree; one says, he is liable for the particularisations, but he is not liable for the generalisations; and the other says, he is liable also for the generalisations. Now here, how will it be? - Raba said: How now? There he is liable for the generalisation, and he is liable for the particularisation, for if he swears once, and then swears again, he is liable twice. But here, if it should enter your mind that they are included in the generalisation, why should he be liable for the particularisations, since he already stands adjured? <br>
