nasai:4771Isḥāq b. Ibrāhīm > Muʿādh b. Hishām from my father > Qatādah > Budayl b. Maysarah > ʿAṭāʾ > Ṣafwān b. Yaʿlá Ibn Munyah

a hired man of Ya'la bin Munyah was bitten by another on his forearm and he pulled it away from his mouth. The matter was referred to the Prophet, as his front tooth had fallen out, but the Messenger of Allah considered it an invalid claim, and said: "No,; should he put (his forearm) in your mouth for you to bite it as a stallion bites?"  

النسائي:٤٧٧١أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ بُدَيْلِ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَعْلَى ابْنِ مُنْيَةَ

أَنَّ أَجِيرًا لِيَعْلَى ابْنِ مُنْيَةَ عَضَّ آخَرُ ذِرَاعَهُ فَانْتَزَعَهَا مِنْ فِيهِ فَرَفَعَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَقَدْ سَقَطَتْ ثَنِيَّتُهُ فَأَبْطَلَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ أَيَدَعُهَا فِي فِيكَ تَقْضَمُهَا كَقَضْمِ الْفَحْلِ
