פירוש על עבודה זרה 105:8
Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah
Above we said that according to one amora, the tannaim disagree over a case where the idol was sold to an Israelite smelter. The question is whether according to this amoraic opinion the tannaim also disagree over a case where it was sold to an idolatrous smelter. Or do they agree that when he sells it to an idolatrous smelter, it is not annulled.
To answer this, the Talmud looks at a baraita. In this baraita Rabbi says that his opinion is correct if the idolater sells it to one who plans on destroying the idol, but that the sages’ opinion is correct when he sells it to one who will worship it, which here is interpreted to be an idolatrous smelter. Rabbi’s words imply that there is a dispute in both cases. In other words, although Rabbi says that his colleagues’ opinion seems correct, he still disagrees.
