28.4 If a person attacks another person's life and limb, and the other defends himself and kills him or injures him, there is no penalty on him

٢٨۔٤ باب الصَّائِلُ عَلَى نَفْسِ الإِنْسَانِ أَوْ عُضْوِهِ إِذَا دَفَعَهُ الْمَصُولُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَتْلَفَ نَفْسَهُ أَوْ عُضْوَهَ لاَ ضَمَانَ عَلَيْهِ

Ya'la b. Munya or Ibn Umayya fought with a person, and the one bit the hand of the other. And he tried to draw his hand from his mouth and thus his foreteeth ware pulled out. They referred their dispute to Allah's Apostle ﷺ, whereupon he said: Does any one of you bite as the camel bites? So there is no blood-wit for it.

'Imran b. Husain reported that a person bit the hand of a person. He withdrew his hand and his foretooth or foreteeth fell down. He (the man who lost his teeth) referred the matter to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said, What do you want me to do? Do you ask me that I should order him to put his hand in your mouth, and you should bite it as the camel bites? (If you want retaliation, then the only way out is) that you put your hand in his mouth (allow him) to bite that and then draw it away.

Do you wish to bite as the camel bites?  

مسلم:١٦٧٤bحَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ حَدَّثَنَا عَطَاءٌ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَعْلَى ابْنِ مُنْيَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

muslim:1674cAbū Bakr b. Abū Shaybah > Abū Usāmah > Ibn Jurayj > ʿAṭāʾ > Ṣafwān b. Yaʿlá b. Umayyah from his father

I participated in the expedition to Tabuk with Allah's Apostle ﷺ. And Ya'la used to say: That was the most weighty of my deeds, in my opinion. Safwan said that Ya'la had stated: I had a servant; he quarrelled with another person, and the one bit the hand of the other. ('Ata' said that Safwan had told him which one had bitten the hand of the other.) So he whose hand was bitten drew ill from (the mouth) of the one who had bitten it and (in this scuffle) one of his foreteeth was also drawn out. They both came to Allah's Apostle ﷺ and he declared his (claim for the compensation of) tooth as invalid.
