Hadith 1088
1088 صحيح حديث عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً عَضَّ يَدَ رَجُل، فَنَزَعَ يَدَهُ مِنْ فَمِهِ فَوَقَعَتْ ثَنِيَّتَاهُ فَاخْتَصَمُوا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ: يَعَضُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ كَمَا يَعَضُّ الْفَحْلُ لاَ دِيَةَ لَكَ
Hazrat Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that a man bit another man’s hand, so the latter pulled his hand out of the mouth of the one biting him, causing the biter’s two front teeth to break. Then both of them brought their dispute to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “You bite your brother’s hand like a camel bites, and now you want compensation? You will not get any compensation.”
Hadith 1089
1089 صحيح حديث يَعْلَى بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ رضي الله عنه، قَالَ: غَزَوْتُ مَعَ النَبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَيْشَ الْعُسْرَةِ، فَكَانَ مِنْ أَوْثَقِ أَعْمَالِي فِي نَفْسِي، فَكَانَ لِي أَجِيرٌ، فَقَاتَلَ إِنْسَانًا، فَعَضَّ أَحَدُهُمَا إِصْبَعَ صَاحِبهِ، فَانْتَزَعَ إِصْبَعَهُ، فَأَنْدَرَ ثَنِيَّتَهُ فَسَقَطَتْ فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى النَّبِىِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَهْدَرَ ثَنِيَّتَهُ، وَقَالَ: أَفَيَدَعُ إِصْبَعَهُ فِي فِيكَ تقْضَمُهَا قَالَ أَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ: كَمَا يَقْضَمُ الْفَحْلُ
Hazrat Ya'la bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that I went with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) in the army of hardship (the expedition of Tabuk). To me, this was my most reliable good deed. I also had a laborer with me. He quarreled with another person, and one of them bit the other's finger. When the other pulled his hand away forcefully, the front teeth of the biter also came out and fell. Upon this, that person brought his case to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not order any retribution for the broken teeth, but said: Would he have left his finger in your mouth for you to bite? The narrator said: I think you also said, just as a camel chews.
