פסחים פרק א׳ משנה ב׳
After conducting the search, one need not be concerned that perhaps a marten dragged leaven from house to house, or from place to place, placing leaven in a house that was already searched. As if so, one need also be concerned that perhaps leaven might have been dragged from courtyard to courtyard and from city to city. In that case, there is no end to the matter, and it would be impossible to rely on any search for leaven.
אֵין חוֹשְׁשִׁין שֶׁמָּא גָרְרָה חֻלְדָּה מִבַּיִת לְבַיִת וּמִמָּקוֹם לְמָקוֹם, דְּאִם כֵּן, מֵחָצֵר לְחָצֵר וּמֵעִיר לְעִיר, אֵין לַדָּבָר סוֹף:
Bartenura
אין חוששין. כשבדק הבית בזוית זו ובא לבדוק זוית זו, אין חוששין שמא בתוך שבאתי לזו גררה חולדה למקום הבדוק וצריך אני לחזור ולבדוק, שאם באת לחוש לכך הרי גם מחצר לחצר י״ל כן אני בדקתי קודם לחברי ולאחר בדיקתי הביאה חולדה חמץ מחצר חברי לחצרי ואין לדבר סוף:
אין חוששין – when he searched his home in this corner and came to check the other corner, we should not suspect lest in the midst of my coming to this [corner], a mole dragged [hametz] from the checked place and I have to go back and re-check it, for if you come to fear for this, then behold, you also [have to check] from this courtyard to [the other] courtyard, one can say that I checked prior to my fellow and after my searching the mole brought Hametz from my fellow’s courtyard to my courtyard, and there is no end [to this].
