حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحِيمِ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عَمَّيْهِ، يَعْلَى وَسَلَمَةَ ابْنَىْ أُمَيَّةَ قَالاَ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ وَمَعَنَا صَاحِبٌ لَنَا فَاقْتَتَلَ هُوَ وَرَجُلٌ آخَرُ وَنَحْنُ بِالطَّرِيقِ . قَالَ فَعَضَّ الرَّجُلُ يَدَ صَاحِبِهِ فَجَذَبَ صَاحِبُهُ يَدَهُ مِنْ فِيهِ فَطَرَحَ ثَنِيَّتَهُ فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَلْتَمِسُ عَقْلَ ثَنِيَّتِهِ . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " يَعْمِدُ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى أَخِيهِ فَيَعَضُّهُ كَعِضَاضِ الْفَحْلِ ثُمَّ يَأْتِي يَلْتَمِسُ الْعَقْلَ لاَ عَقْلَ لَهَا " . قَالَ فَأَبْطَلَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم .

Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah reported to us: Abd al-Rahim ibn Sulayman reported to us, from Muhammad ibn Ishaq, from Ata, from Safwan ibn Abdullah, from his paternal uncles Ya‘la and Salamah, both sons of Umayyah, who said: We went with the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) on the expedition to Tabuk, accompanied by a friend of ours. He quarreled with another man on the road. The man bit his companion’s hand, and the companion pulled his hand from his mouth, knocking out one of his teeth. He came to the Messenger of Allah seeking compensation for the tooth. The Messenger of Allah said, ‘Would one of you deliberately bite his brother like a stallion and then come seeking compensation? There is no compensation for it.’ The Messenger of Allah therefore disallowed his claim.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The Arabic presents the incident as biting with the teeth like a stallion, then rejects compensation for the tooth lost when the bitten man pulled away.
