Quotation for Moed Katan 25:4

א"ל תניתוה שדה שנתקווצה בשביעית תזרע למוצאי שביעית נטייבה או נדיירה לא תזרע למוצאי שביעית ואמר ר' יוסי בר חנינא נקטינן הטיבה ומת בנו זורעה אלמא לדידיה קנסו רבנן לבריה לא קנסו רבנן ה"נ לדידיה קנסו רבנן לבריה לא קנסו רבנן

and [on this Point] R'Jose B'Hanina said: 'We have it on tradition that one had well improved his field and died, his son may Sow it'. This shows that our Rabbis did [intend to] penalize him,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' For clearing thorns by harrowing, manuring and hurdling cattle on the field, are not of the processes explicitly forbidden in Scripture (Lev. XXV, 1-5) ; and though some included even such 'secondary processes' under the Scriptural prohibition (cf. supra 3a) , the Rabbis did not press the penalty against the dead man's son.');"><sup>8</sup></span> but his son the Rabbis did not [intend to] penalize; here too, then, it is the man himself that they would penalize, but his son the Rabbis would not have penalized.

Mishnah Sheviit

A field from which thorns had been removed may be sown in the eighth year. But if it had been improved upon, or cattle had been allowed to live upon it, it may not be sown in the eighth year. A field which had been improved upon in the seventh year: Bet Shammai says: they may not eat its produce in the seventh year, But Bet Hillel says: they may eat. Bet Shammai says: they may not eat produce of the sabbatical year with an expression of thanks. But Bet Hillel says: they may eat [sabbatical year produce] with an expression for thanks and without an expression of thanks. Rabbi Judah says: the statements must be reversed, for this is one of the instances where Bet Shammai is lenient and Bet Hillel is stringent.
