Here you are as she said,' and if R. Nahman had said in the name of Rabbah b. Abbuha in the name Rab, 'Once the Get comes into his hand, she is divorced,' then I could infer that he relies upon her word;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Because if he had taken the agent's word that she told him to bring it, she would not be divorced even when it came into her hand.
