רב חנא בר ביזנא Rav Chana bar Bizna
Amora of Babylonia · 3rd generation (c. 290–320 CE) — named 16 times across 12 tractates of the Bavli.
Rav Chana bar Bizna, of the third Babylonian generation, is the channel through which almost all of Rabbi Shimon Chasida's aggada reaches the Talmud: ten of his citations open with the formula Rav Chana bar Bizna said, Rabbi Shimon Chasida said. Through that pair come the passage on what was shown to Moses at the cleft of the rock, and the teaching that a man should sooner cast himself into a fiery furnace than shame another in public.
He is named some sixteen times across twelve tractates, spread very thinly, and Rabbi Shimon Chasida is the name he stands beside above all others.
Cited in aggada in Rabbi Shimon Chasida's name.
