Commentary for Kiddushin 115:5
אתו לקמיה דרבה אמר להו פלגא אוקמינכי הב"ע כגון שנשחטה ונמצאת טריפה ור"ש לטעמיה
They were silent. When they came before Rabbah [and put the difficulty to him], he exclaimed: That controversialist [Mar Judah] has prompted you! The circumstances here<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' With the case of betrothal.');"><sup>5</sup></span> are that it was killed and found to be trefa.
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
R. Joseph and R. Shmuel do not know how to answer Mar Judah’s question, so they bring it to Rabbah. After denigrating Mar Judah for his contentious personality, Rabbah solves the problem. R. Shimon holds that hullin animals killed in the Temple are biblically prohibited. But the baraita was referring to a case where the animal was found to be a terefa, an animal with a physical flaw that would have caused it to die. Such an animal could not be a sacrifice. Since its slaughter would in any case not have permitted it to be eaten, R. Shimon does not consider this to be under the prohibition of hullin killed in the Temple.
