ahmad:17949Yaḥyá b. Saʿīd > Ibn Jurayj > ʿAṭāʾ > Ṣafwān b. Yaʿlá b. Umayyah from his father

[Machine] A man bit the hand of his opponent during a fight, causing the opponent to remove his hand from his grip. The opponent then sought the Prophet ﷺ , who reprimanded him and said, "Let him leave his hand in your hand, so that it may be bitten like a stallion bites."  

أحمد:١٧٩٤٩حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَاءٌ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي صَفْوَانُ بْنُ يَعْلَى بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

قَاتَلَ أَجِيرِي رَجُلًا فَعَضَّ يَدَهُ فَنَزَعَ يَدَهُ مِنْ فِيهِ فَأَنْدَرَ ثَنِيَّتَهُ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَهْدَرَهُ وَقَالَ فَيَدَعُ يَدَهُ فِي فِيكَ تَقْضِمُهَا كَمَا يَقْضِمُ الْفَحْلُ

[Machine] I participated in the Battle of Tabuk with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I was accompanied by a servant named Ajeer who fought alongside me. He fought against an opponent and bit his hand, causing his thumb to fall off. The Prophet ﷺ was informed about this and he asked the servant if he should leave his hand in his mouth so that he could bite it off completely, like a stallion bites off a piece. The servant then let go of the hand.  

الطبراني:١٨٩٤٤حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَدْرٍ الْبَصْرِيُّ ثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ وَابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَعْلَى عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

غَزَوْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ غَزْوَةَ تَبُوكَ عَلَى بَكْرٍ صَعْبٍ وَمَعِي أَجِيرٌ لِي فَقَاتَلَ أَجِيرِي رَجُلًا فَعَضَّهُ فَنَزَعَ يَدَهُ مِنْ فِيهِ فَسَقَطَتْ ثَنِيَّتُهُ فَأُتِيَ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَتُدَعُ يَدُهُ فِي فِيكَ تَقْضَمُهَا كَمَا يَقْضَمُ الْفَحْلُ فَأَهْدَرَهَا
