ذِكْرُ إِبْطَالِ الْقِصَاصِ فِي ثَنِيَّةِ الْعَاضِّ يَدَ أَخِيهِ إِذَا انْقَلَعَتْ بِجَذْبِ الْمَعْضُوضِ يَدَهُ مِنْهُ

[Machine] A man killed another man, then he bit his hand and it swelled. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Does one of you bite like a male camel?" and he invalidated it.  

ابن حبّان:٥٩٩٨أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدُ بْنُ مُسَرْهَدٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ

أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَاتَلَ رَجُلًا فَعَضَّ يَدَهُ فَنَدَرَتْ ثَنِيَّتُهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «يَعَضُّ أَحَدُكُمْ كَمَا يَعَضُّ الْفَحْلُ؟ » وَأَبْطَلَهَا
