أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ مَرَّةً أُخْرَی عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ عَمْرٍو عَنْ عَطَائٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَعْلَی عَنْ يَعْلَی وَابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ عَطَائٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَعْلَی عَنْ يَعْلَی أَنَّهُ اسْتَأْجَرَ أَجِيرًا فَقَاتَلَ رَجُلًا فَعَضَّ يَدَهُ فَانْتُزِعَتْ ثَنِيَّتُهُ فَخَاصَمَهُ إِلَی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ أَيَدَعُهَا يَقْضَمُهَا کَقَضْمِ الْفَحْلِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4782
It was narrated from Ya’la that he hired a worker who fought with a man and bit his hand, and his front tooth fell out. So he referred the dispute to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم who said: “Do you want to bite his hand as a stallion bites?” (Sahih)
