Commentary for Avodah Zarah 66:3
אמר רב אשי לא תימא עד דנתרן אלא אפי' רפאי מירפא אע"ג דלא נתר קינסא פליגי בה רב אחא ורבינא חד אסר וחד שרי והלכתא כמאן דאסר

[Where the pitch is removed by means of lighted wood chips: R. Aha and Ravina dispute this: One forbids while the other permits. The law follows the one who forbids.
Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah
