Wer ein Badehaus verkauft, hat die Bretter [auf denen die Kleidung liegt], die Safsalim [Bänke] nicht verkauft. Einige lesen es "s'falim" (die Becken), wo Wasser zum Waschen gegeben wird] und das Vilaoth [der Türvorhang. Einige verstehen es als das Tuch, mit dem man sich abwischt; und andere als das Tuch, mit dem man seine Genitalien bedeckt, wenn man im Bad sitzt.] Wenn er zu ihm sagte: "Es und alles, was darin ist", ist alles verkauft. In beiden Fällen hat er weder die Stauseen [die das Badehaus füttern] noch die Holzvorräte [zum Heizen des Badehauses] verkauft.

English Explanation of Mishnah Bava Batra
If a man sold a bath house, he has not sold the planks or the benches or the curtains. But if he had said: “It and all that is in it”, all these are sold also. In neither case has he sold the water containers or the stores of wood. In the first section we learn that when someone sells a bath house, the planks which serve as the floor of the bath house, the benches and the curtains are not included in the sale. Only if he stated that he was selling all that is in the bath house are these items considered part of the sale. In any case the water containers and stores of wood are not considered to be part of the bath house and are therefore not sold with it, even if he stated that he was selling all that is in the bath house.
