Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَعْلَى، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ غَزَوْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم غَزْوَةَ تَبُوكَ، فَحَمَلْتُ عَلَى بَكْرٍ، فَهْوَ أَوْثَقُ أَعْمَالِي فِي نَفْسِي، فَاسْتَأْجَرْتُ أَجِيرًا، فَقَاتَلَ رَجُلاً، فَعَضَّ أَحَدُهُمَا الآخَرَ فَانْتَزَعَ يَدَهُ مِنْ فِيهِ، وَنَزَعَ ثَنِيَّتَهُ، فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَهْدَرَهَا فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَيَدْفَعُ يَدَهُ إِلَيْكَ فَتَقْضَمُهَا كَمَا يَقْضَمُ الْفَحْلُ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

'Abdullah ibn Muhammad narrated to us; Sufyan narrated to us; Ibn Jurayj narrated to us from 'Ata', from Safwan ibn Ya'la, from his father (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I went on the expedition to Tabuk with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). I supplied a young camel, which I considered one of my most dependable deeds. I hired a worker, who fought with another man. One of them bit the other, and the latter pulled his hand from the man's mouth, knocking out one of his front teeth. He came to the Prophet (ﷺ), who dismissed the claim. He said, ‘Would he put out his hand for you to bite it, as a stallion bites?’

Translation notes
  • فَأَهْدَرَهَا
