על הפולין הלחים ואין בהם תולעים אם הם מותרים, כי יש אוסרים בעבור מה שנמצא בהם מתנועע בעוד שהן לחים וע"ז שאלתי אם יש לחוש לדברי האוסרין או אם נאמר שמותר כי כשמתייבשין (הפרש יש בין נמצא ל)לא נמצא:
Regarding the permissibility of soaked beans that don't contain worms. Some forbid these because there is a part that seems to move when they are wet. I asked [in my dream] whether in this case we should be concerned for the opinion of those who forbid1This is the opinion of Rabbeinu Yerucham 15:27, , or should we say that they are permitted, since when they are dried nothing is to be found.2The question discussed in Chullin 67a:15 is whether insects that grow inside detached fruit are forbidden under the category of 'those that swarm upon the earth" (Leviticus 11:41). See Tosafot on Chullin 67b:5, where Rabbeinu Tam and Rabbeinu Netanel reject this distinction, and cite Halakhot Gedolot 62 and Sheiltot of Rav Achai as supporting it. Nonetheless, the source in Tosafot add that 'beans known as pois are permitted by all'. This is also the opinion of a responsum of Rashi cited in Beit Yosef Yoreh Deah 84.
