Shmuel HaKattan was one of the legends of Jewish history. The Talmud testifies on him that had his generation been worthy, he would have been a full-fledged prophet. Notwithstanding his generation, Shmuel Hakattan did merit lower grade prophecies in his life. He was commissioned by Rabban Gamliel to compose the blessing against the heretics, a blessing that we recite thrice daily. In his Mishnah we discover that he was not motivated by hatred of the heretics. To the contrary, he loved them and sought their repentance and restoration.
