Rav Shmuel bar Yehuda, of the third Babylonian generation, came up from Babylonia to Eretz Yisrael; the tradition records that he was the son of a convert. He is quoted in others' names a dozen times and is named some fifty times across fourteen tractates, heaviest in Shabbat, Gittin and Avodah Zarah.

He appears most often carrying teachings of Rabbi Yochanan's school and of Rav Yehuda, and in the company of Abaye. Beyond that, the reference tradition holds little about him that can be stated firmly.
