Musar for Chagigah 32:5
מיד קבל עליו יהודה בן טבאי שאינו מורה הלכה אלא בפני שמעון בן שטח
Immediately, Yehudah the son of Tabbai accepted upon himself that he would not issue rulings in law except before Rabbi Shimon the son of Shetach.
Mesilat Yesharim
Even matters of Shevut (Resting), despite that they are Rabbinical, are nevertheless important principles as the Sages said: "Never let [the principle] of Shevut (Rest) be light in your eyes. For the laying on of the hands [on a sacrifice for a Festival-day] is [prohibited] only on account of Shevut, yet the greatest men of the age debated therein" (Chagigah 16b).
