Commentary for Gittin 12:5

הא איהו נמי שלא תיזקק לעדים קאמר ליה לא סיימוה קמיה

R. Ishmael said to him: Say nothing, my son, say nothing; now that the thing has been declared permissible, let it remain so. [Why should R. Ila'i have thought otherwise], seeing that [R. Ishmael] also gave as a reason 'that the woman should not require witnesses'? — [R. Ila'i] had not been told of these concluding words.
