Entry 981 • Seder Tannaim v'Amoraim

Rav Huna bar Rav Ika said in Berakhot [(M.G. 43b) to Rav Pappa: "Did the master not hold that the halakhah follows the opinion of the majority?" He replied: "This is the opinion of Beit Shammai." Rav Pappa said to him: "Thus said Rava: The halakhah follows Beit Hillel." However, it is not so; he acted to exempt himself (for Rava did not say that the halakhah follows Beit Hillel, but rather Rav Pappa misinterpreted him and thus exempted himself in this matter). And the Tosafot and Rabbeinu Alfasi wrote that the ruling is in accordance with Rava, which implies that he did not have this text in his book, and it is not so, etc.].
