أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَقَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْجَوَّابِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَمَّارٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَی عَنْ الْحَکَمِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَعْلَی أَنَّ أَبَاهُ غَزَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوکَ فَاسْتَأْجَرَ أَجِيرًا فَقَاتَلَ رَجُلًا فَعَضَّ الرَّجُلُ ذِرَاعَهُ فَلَمَّا أَوْجَعَهُ نَتَرَهَا فَأَنْدَرَ ثَنِيَّتَهُ فَرُفِعَ ذَلِکَ إِلَی رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَعْمِدُ أَحَدُکُمْ فَيَعَضُّ أَخَاهُ کَمَا يَعَضُّ الْفَحْلُ فَأَبْطَلَ ثَنِيَّتَهُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4787
It was narrated from Safwan bin Ya’la that his father went on the campaign of Tabuk with the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and he hired a man who fought with another man. The man bit his forearm, and when it hurt him, he pulled it away, and the man’s front tooth fell out. The matter was referred to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم who said: “Would one of you deliberately bite his brother as a stallion bites?” And he judged it to be invalid. (Sahih)
