Editing Mesechtas Bava Batra (section)

==== Migo ====
Expanded article – '''Migo'''

One of the foundations of the tractate is migo.

When Rabbi Avraham Sofer, grandson of the Chasam Sofer, visited the Rebbe, he told him that he had a tradition passed down generation after generation from his grandfather the Chasam Sofer, that the deepest secrets of Torah are hidden in the Torah section of migo. The Rebbe responded that he too had received such a tradition.

Besides the principle of "what reason would he have to lie" mentioned in the Gemara as a clarification and assessment that a person is not lying, since he could have made a better claim, there is also a well-known approach mentioned frequently by later authorities, primarily the author of Baruch Ta'am, that migo is a power in the laws of claimants, allowing a person to use the power of the claim he could have made and apply it to his current claim. Some have defined this as the power of possession, since because he could have made another claim and had the power to win the property, he is considered a "muchzak" - a person who has property in his possession, for spiritually the property is in his possession and power, and by virtue of the well-known principle of "hamotzi mechavero" (the burden of proof is on the claimant), he wins the property.
