حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَائٌ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَعْلَی عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قَاتَلَ أَجِيرٌ لِي رَجُلًا فَعَضَّ يَدَهُ فَانْتَزَعَهَا فَنَدَرَتْ ثَنِيَّتُهُ فَأَتَی النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَهْدَرَهَا وَقَالَ أَتُرِيدُ أَنْ يَضَعَ يَدَهُ فِي فِيکَ تَقْضِمُهَا کَالْفَحْلِ قَالَ وَأَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْکَةَ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَنَّ أَبَا بَکْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَهْدَرَهَا وَقَالَ بَعِدَتْ سِنُّهُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4584
Narrated Safwan bin Yala: On this father's authority, said: A servant of mine fought with a man and bit his hand and he drew away his hand. (One of) his front teeth fell out. So he came to the Prophet ﷺ who imposed no retaliation for his tooth, saying: Do you intend that he leaves his hand in your mouth so that you crunch it like a male camel ? He said: Ibn Abi Mulaikah told me on the authority of his grandfather that Abu Bakr (ra) imposed no retaliation on him for it, saying: May his tooth go away!
