أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَائٌ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَعْلَی عَنْ يَعْلَی بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ قَالَ غَزَوْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَيْشَ الْعُسْرَةِ وَکَانَ أَوْثَقَ عَمَلٍ لِي فِي نَفْسِي وَکَانَ لِي أَجِيرٌ فَقَاتَلَ إِنْسَانًا فَعَضَّ أَحَدُهُمَا إِصْبَعَ صَاحِبِهِ فَانْتَزَعَ إِصْبَعَهُ فَأَنْدَرَ ثَنِيَّتَهُ فَسَقَطَتْ فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَهْدَرَ ثَنِيَّتَهُ وَقَالَ أَفَيَدَعُ يَدَهُ فِي فِيکَ تَقْضَمُهَا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4784
It was narrated that Ya’la bin Umayyah said: “I went on a campaign with the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم in the Army of Hardship, and this was the deed of which I was most sure. I had a hired man who fought with another person. One of them bit the finger of the other, who pulled his finger away and a front tooth fell out. He went to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلمwho considered the tooth to be in vain, and said: “Would he put his hand in your mouth for you to bite it?” (Sahih)
