אֵין חוֹשְׁשִׁין שֶׁמָּא גָרְרָה חֻלְדָּה מִבַּיִת לְבַיִת וּמִמָּקוֹם לְמָקוֹם, דְּאִם כֵּן, מֵחָצֵר לְחָצֵר וּמֵעִיר לְעִיר, אֵין לַדָּבָר סוֹף:

We do not fear that a weasel might have carried (chametz) from house to house and from place to place. For if so — from courtyard to courtyard and from city to city — there is no end to the thing! [If he searched one corner of the house and came to the other corner, he need not fear: "Perhaps when I came to this place, a weasel carried chametz to the already searched place, and I must go back and search." For if this were to be feared, it would have to be feared from courtyard to courtyard, too, viz.: "I searched before for my neighbor. Perhaps after my search a weasel brought chametz from my neighbor's courtyard to mine — and there is no end to the thing!]
