I had a laborer with me, and he got into a fight with another man. One of them bit the other’s finger. (The narrator says:) Sayyiduna Sufyan had mentioned who bit whose finger, but I have forgotten that detail. The other man pulled his hand away, and the biter’s front teeth broke. This case was brought before the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and he declared the teeth to be without compensation and said: “Would this man have left his hand in your mouth so that you could bite it?” (The narrator says: I think this is the example in the narration) “You would have bitten it like a bull.”

The other person pulled his hand out of his mouth, causing his two front teeth to break. He came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) so that he could get compensation for him. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “A person goes to his brother and bites him like a bull, and then he comes to demand compensation for it? You will not get any right.” The narrator says that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) let him go.
