Hanan bar Rava

• Ḥanan b. Rava taught a mishnah to Ḥiyya b. Rav in a booth of Rav's study hall: "An amputee may not exit with his prosthetic [on the Sabbath] -- the words of Meir; but Yose permits." Rav signaled him: "Reverse them."{{Cite web|title=Shabbat 66a:8|url=https://www.sefaria.org/Shabbat.66a.8|access-date=2021-03-03|website=www.sefaria.org}}
• Yehudah b. Ezekiel, Yirmiah b. Abba, and Ḥanan b. Rava traveled to the house of Abin of N'shiqya. Couches were brought out for Yehudah b. Ezekiel and Yirmiah b. Abba, but not for Ḥanan b. Rava, who was forced to sit on the ground. Ḥanan b. Rava became incensed, and provoked his host to an halakhic dispute.{{Cite web|title=Shabbat 121b|url=https://www.sefaria.org/Shabbat.121b|access-date=2021-03-03|website=www.sefaria.org}}{{Cite web|title=Rashi on Shabbat 121b:1:1|url=https://www.sefaria.org/Rashi_on_Shabbat.121b.1.1|access-date=2021-03-03|website=www.sefaria.org}}

• When the Exilarch died, Ḥisda instructed him to stand on a platform, tear his garments, and show them to the masses.

• Ḥanan b. Rava went to his son-in-law Ḥisda's house. He took his granddaughter and put her in his lap. Ḥisda accused him of violating religious decency laws, but Ḥanan b. Rava insisted familial affection was permitted.In most printings, this story is about Aḥa b. Abba; all MSS, and Rishonic quotes, read Ḥanan b. Rava instead. The story is certainly about a father-in-law of Ḥisda, which description fits only Ḥanan b. Rava. {{Cite web|title=HebrewBooks.org -בבלי - מסכת קידושין דף פא עמוד ב|url=https://hebrewbooks.org/shas.aspx?mesechta=20&daf=81b&format=pdf|access-date=2021-03-05|website=hebrewbooks.org}} In another version, Ḥanan b.

• Ḥanan b. Rava and his associates were sitting and eating on the Sabbath. After they had eaten and said Grace, Ḥanan b. Rava arose and departed. He returned, and found his associates saying Grace again! He asked, "Have we not already said Grace?" and the associates responded, "We said Grace, and then said Grace again, because we initially forgot to insert the Sabbath additions."{{Cite web|title=Jerusalem Talmud Berakhot 55b:1|url=https://www.sefaria.org/Jerusalem_Talmud_Berakhot.55b.1|access-date=2021-03-04|website=www.sefaria.org}}

• Rav was going to the house of his son-in-law Ḥanan b. Rava when he saw a ferry-boat approaching. He said, "A ferry-boat is approaching! It is an omen: tonight will be a yom tov for my stomach." Rav came to Ḥanan b. Rava's gate and looked through a crack in the door; he saw a spitted animal. He knocked on the gate, and everyone came to greet him, even the butchers. Rav did not lift his eyes from the animal, saying to them, "You would have fed forbidden meat to my grandchildren!" Rav did not eat from the animal.{{Cite web|title=Chullin 95b:5|url=https://www.sefaria.org/Chullin.95b.5|access-date=2021-03-05|website=www.sefaria.org}}
