הַנּוֹדֵר מִן ,,הַיָּרָק” — מֻתָּר בַּדְּלוּעִין; וְרַבִּי עֲקִיבָא אוֹסֵר. אָמְרוּ לוֹ לְרַבִּי עֲקִיבָא: וַהֲלֹא אוֹמֵר אָדָם לִשְׁלוּחוֹ: ,,קַח לִי יָרָק”, וְהוּא אוֹמֵר: ,,לֹא מָצָאתִי אֶלָּא דְלוּעִין”. אָמַר לָהֶם: כֵּן הַדָּבָר; אוֹ שֶׁמָּא אוֹמֵר הוּא לוֹ: ,,לֹא מָצָאתִי אֶלָּא קִטְנִית”? אֶלָּא שֶׁהַדְּלוּעִין בִּכְלָל ,,יָרָק”, וְקִטְנִית אֵינָן בִּכְלָל ,,יָרָק”. וְאָסוּר בְּפוֹל הַמִּצְרִי לַח, וּמֻתָּר בַּיָּבֵשׁ.
One who makes a neder prohibiting greens is permitted gourds; R' Akiva, however, forbids [them]. They said to R' Akiva: Doesn't a person say to his agent: “Buy me greens,” and he says: “I found only gourds”? He said to them: Indeed, it is so; but does he say to him: “I found only legumes”? [It is] only [because] bitter gourds are included under the category of greens, but legumes are not included under the category of greens. He is forbidden fresh Egyptian beans, but permitted dry [ones].
