Commentary for Moed Katan 43:11

כר"ש באבל מאי א"ל פלוגתא נינהו דאיתמר רב חסדא אמר הלכה וכן א"ר יוחנן הלכה ר"נ אמר אין הלכה

Said he to him: 'Did you, sir, say that the halachah is to follow R'Simeon B'Gamialiel on the point of terefoth'? - He replied: 'I said that the halachah is not so'! And what about the point of mourning', [is the halachah in that case] to follow R'Simeon? - He replied: Opinions are divided on that, as it has been stated: R'Hisda said, [R'Simeon's view is] the halachah, and R'Johanan said likewise; [but] R'Nahman said, [R'Simeon's view is] not the halachah. The [present] halachah however does not follow R'Simeon B'Gamaliel's view in terefoth; but as to the point of mourning.
