tabarani:18943 – Abū Khalīfah al-Faḍl b. al-Ḥubāb > Ibrāhīm b. Bashhār al-Ramādī > Sufyān > Ibn Jurayj > ʿAṭāʾ > Ṣafwān b. Yaʿlá from his father

[Machine] I participated in the Battle of Tabuk with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , alongside Abu Bakr As-Siddiq. This battle was one of my greatest achievements, and I hired a helper to fight alongside me. During the battle, my helper got into a fight with another man and he bit his hand, causing him to lose his two fingers. The injured man then complained to the Prophet ﷺ about what happened. The Prophet ﷺ dismissed the complaint and said, "Would you want your hand to make him suffer by biting it like a stallion bites?"

الطبراني:١٨٩٤٣ – حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ ثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ الرَّمَادِيُّ ثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَعْلَى عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

غَزَوْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ غَزْوَةَ تَبُوكَ عَلَى بَكْرٍ صَعْبٍ فَكَانَ أَوْثَقَ أَعْمَالِي فِي نَفْسِي وَاسْتَأْجُرْتُ أَجِيرًا فَقَاتَلَ أَجِيرِي رَجُلًا فَعَضَّ يَدَهُ فَانْتَزَعَ ثَنِيَّتَهُ فَخَاصَمَهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَهْدَرَهَا وَقَالَ أَيَدَعُ يَدَهُ فِي فِيكَ تَقْضَمُهَا كَقَضْمِ الْفَحْلِ
