Hanina of Sura
Rav Hanina of Sura (Hebrew: רב חנינא מסורא) was a Babylonian Amora of the fifth generation.
Like other Babylonian rabbis his title was "Rav", but this is sometimes written in error as "Rabbi".
Biography
His mother was a "rebellious wife" who refused to sleep with her husband and desired a divorce. Yet Mar Zutra, the judge, compelled them to remain together, and Hanina was born. However, the Talmud recommends against forcing the couple to remain together in this way as a general policy.[1]
He was a colleague of Mar Zutra, Rav Man, and Rav Papi. His rulings are quoted in a number of places in the Babylonian Talmud.[2]

gollark: What does that say? It shows as a few invalid unicode character boxes.
gollark: AAAAAAAAAAAAgh I keep missing the drops by a few seconds.
gollark: Prizes are evil, I tell you. 3d18h, 400 unique views, still only partly cracked.
gollark: No.
