[Machine] The son of Numeir pulled his hand away from him and his two fingers fell off, so he pulled them back and his fingers were detached. This was then brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so he nullified it and said, "You wanted to bite the flesh of your brother as a stallion bites."  

أحمد:١٩٨٤٣حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ وَابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ قَالَا ثَنَا سَعِيدٌ وَيَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا سَعِيدٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا عَضَّ رَجُلًا عَلَى ذِرَاعِهِ قَالَ

ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ فَنَزَعَ يَدَهُ مِنْهُ فَسَقَطَتْ ثَنِيَّتَاهُ فَجَذَبَهَا فَانْتَزَعَتْ ثَنِيَّتَهُ فَرُفِعَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَبْطَلَهَا وَقَالَ أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَقْضَمَ لَحْمَ أَخِيكَ كَمَا يَقْضَمُ الْفَحْلُ
