Commentary for Berakhot 49:5
אתמר ריח רע שיש לו עיקר רב הונא אמר מרחיק ד' אמות וקורא ק"ש ורב חסדא אמר מרחיק ד' אמות ממקום שפסק הריח וקורא ק"ש
It has been reported : If there is a foul odour for which there is a cause [present], Rab Huna said : A man should remove himself a distance of four cubits and read the Shema'. Rab Hisda said: He should remove himself a distance of four cubits from the place where the odour ceases and read the Shema'.
