קשיא דשמואל אדשמואל הכא אמר רב יהודה אמר שמואל שיעור הדס וערבה שלשה והתם אמר רב הונא אמר שמואל הלכה כרבי טרפון לא דק אימר דאמרינן לא דק לחומרא לקולא מי אמרינן לא דק

Do not then two statements of Shmuel contradict one another, for here Rav Judah says in the name of Shmuel, The [minimum] length of the hadas and the aravah is three [normal handbreadths], and elsewhere R. Huna said in the name of Shmuel that the halakhah is in accordance with R. Tarfon? [Shmuel] was not precise. Say that we can say that one is not precise when [this results in] a stringency but not when [it results in] a leniency?
