כמאן אזלא הא דאמר רב עמרם אמר רב אבל כיון שעמדו מנחמין מאצלו מותר ברחיצה כמאן כאבא שאול

Whose view [is it]? - It is Abba Saul's [view]. Said Abaye, The halachah follows Abba Saul's view in regard to the seventh day [of mourning] and the Sages concur with Abba Saul in regard to the thirtieth day [of mourning] that we say, part of the day is regarded as the whole day. Raba said, The halachah follows Abba Saul's view in regard to the thirtieth day, but in regard to the seventh day the halachah does not follow the view of Abba Saul.
