Commentary for Chullin 255:28

בנתקנח הדם בין סימן לסימן קמיפלגי

R'Ashi said: They differ as to whether the slaughtering only and not the blood renders susceptible to uncleanness.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' It is agreed by all that the animal cannot serve as a handle to the limb for the purpose of rendering it susceptible to uncleanness; it is therefore suggested that the limb was splashed with the blood of the slaughtering which was not wiped off at all. R. Simeon nevertheless maintains that the limb was not thereby rendered susceptible, for he holds that it is the act of slaughtering and not the blood which renders the animal susceptible to uncleanness, and this being so, the act of slaughtering must be a valid act such as renders the animal fit for food, which is not the case with regard to this limb.');">¹⁸</span>
