that his father said, "I participated in Al-Usra (i.e. Tabuk) along with the Prophet." Yaʿla added, "(My participation in) that Ghazwa was the best of my deeds to me." Yaʿla said, "I had a laborer who quarrelled with somebody, and one of the two bit the hand of the other (ʿAta', the sub-narrator, said, "Safwan told me who bit whom but I forgot it"), and the one who was bitten, pulled his hand out of the mouth of the biter, so one of the incisors of the biter was broken. So we came to the Prophet ﷺ and he considered the biter's claim as invalid (i.e. the biter did not get a recompense for his broken incisor). The Prophet ﷺ said, "Should he leave his hand in your mouth so that you might snap it as if it were in the mouth of a male camel to snap it?"  

غَزَوْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ الْعُسْرَةَ قَالَ كَانَ يَعْلَى يَقُولُ تِلْكَ الْغَزْوَةُ أَوْثَقُ أَعْمَالِي عِنْدِي قَالَ عَطَاءٌ فَقَالَ صَفْوَانُ قَالَ يَعْلَى فَكَانَ لِي أَجِيرٌ فَقَاتَلَ إِنْسَانًا فَعَضَّ أَحَدُهُمَا يَدَ الآخَرِ قَالَ عَطَاءٌ فَلَقَدْ أَخْبَرَنِي صَفْوَانُ أَيُّهُمَا عَضَّ الآخَرَ فَنَسِيتُهُ قَالَ فَانْتَزَعَ الْمَعْضُوضُ يَدَهُ مِنْ فِي الْعَاضِّ فَانْتَزَعَ إِحْدَى ثَنِيَّتَيْهِ فَأَتَيَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَهْدَرَ ثَنِيَّتَهُ قَالَ عَطَاءٌ وَحَسِبْتُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَفَيَدَعُ يَدَهُ فِي فِيكَ تَقْضَمُهَا كَأَنَّهَا فِي فِي فَحْلٍ يَقْضَمُهَا  

[Machine] I participated in the Battle of Uhud with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He used to say that this battle was the strongest of my actions. I had a shield bearer, and I fought a man whom my shield bearer bit. The man pulled his hand from the bite and also pulled out one of my front teeth. They came to the Prophet ﷺ and he threw away the tooth and I thought that he said, "He should have let his hand be chewed as if it were in the mouth of a male camel chewing."  

غَزَوْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ غَزْوَةَ الْعُسْرَةِ وَكَانَ يَعْلَى يَقُولُ تِلْكَ الْغَزْوَةُ أَوْثَقُ عَمَلِي عِنْدِي وَكَانَ لِي أَجِيرٌ فَقَاتَل إِنْسَانًا فَعَضَّ أَحَدُهُمَا الْآخَرَ فَانْتَزَعَ الْمَعْضُوضُ يَدَهُ مِنَ العَاضِّ فَانْتَزَعَ إِحْدَى ثَنِيَّتَيْهِ فَأَتَيَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَهْدَرَ ثَنِيَّتَهُ وَحَسِبْتُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَيَدَعُ يَدَهُ فِي فِيكَ تَقْضَمُهَا كَأَنَّهَا فِي فِيِّ فَحْلٍ يَقْضَمُهَا  

" عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ أميَّةَ: غَزَوْتُ مَعَ النَّبِى ﷺ غَزْوَةَ العُسْرَةِ، وَتِلكَ الغَزْوَةُ أوثَقُ عَمَلِى، وَكَانَ لِى أَجِيرٌ فَقَاتَلَ إِنْسَانًا فَعَضَّ أَحَدُهُمَا الآخَرَ، فَانْتَزعَ المعَضُوضُ يَدَهُ مِن فِى العَاضِّ فَانْتَزع إِحْدَى ثنيتيه فَأتَيَا النَّبِىَّ ﷺ فَأهْدَرَ ثنيتَهُ، قَالَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ فَيَدع يَدَهُ فِى فِيكَ تقْضِمُهَا كَأَنَّهَا في فِي فَحْلٍ يَقضِمُهَا".
