$$^{149}$$Sm synchrotron-radiation-based M$"{o}$ssbauer spectroscopy was performed in Sm-based intermetallics having a cubic crystal structure, Sm$$_{3}Tr_{4}$$Ge$$_{13}$$, SmB$$_{6}$$, SmBe$$_{13}$$, and Sm$$Tr_{2}$$Al$$_{20}$$ ($$Tr$$ = transition metals). In spite of the difference of the local structure around the Sm sites, the observed M$"{o}$ssbauer spectra consist of a single line at 300 K. On the other hand, Sm L$$_{rm III}$$-edge X-ray absorption spectra consist of two components, suggesting Sm$$^{2+}$$ and Sm$$^{3+}$$ states. Difference of the number of the spectral components between the M$"{o}$ssbauer spectroscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy is caused by the difference of the time window in the scattering process of these measurements. Correlation between the isomer shifts in the M$"{o}$ssbauer spectroscopy and average Sm valence states estimated from the X-ray absorption spectroscopy exhibits a linear correlation.
