Commentary for Gittin 144:6
היכי דמי אילימא דאמר לה מהיום ורבנן צריכא למימר והתנן מהיום אם מתי ה"ז גט ואלא לאו דלא אמר לה מהיום ור' יוסי ש"מ הלכה כר' יוסי
— We must therefore say that R. Huna's uncertainty was as to whether the <i>halachah</i> follows R. Jose where the declaration was made by word of mouth or not. But can he have been in doubt about this, seeing that Raba has said, If a man says, 'This is thy Get if I die', or 'supposing I die', the Get is valid, but if he said, 'When I die,' or 'After [my] death,' the Get is not valid. Now, how are we to understand this? Are we to suppose that he [also] said 'from to-day', and [that Raba adopted the view of] the Rabbis? Surely there is no need to tell us this, seeing that we have learnt, IF HE SAID, FROM TO-DAY IF I DIE, THE GET IS VALID. We must therefore suppose that he does not say to her 'from to-day', and that Raba adopted the view of R. Jose; which shows that the <i>halachah</i> is in accordance with R.
