התם לחומרא

For R'Abbahu reported in the name of R'Johanan: All standards fixed by the Rabbis are to be applied strictly except the size of a bean, the standard for stains,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' If a woman observes a blood stain, the size of a bean, on her under-clothes she becomes unclean, for the stain might be the blood of menstruation. If the stain is exactly, or less than, the size of a bean, she would not be unclean, for she may set it down to the blood of a louse; v. Nid. 58b. The reason for this leniency is because the law relating to stains is merely Rabbinic.');">⁷</span>
