حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، عَضَّ رَجُلاً عَلَى ذِرَاعِهِ فَنَزَعَ يَدَهُ فَوَقَعَتْ ثَنِيَّتُهُ فَرُفِعَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَبْطَلَهَا . وَقَالَ " يَقْضَمُ أَحَدُكُمْ كَمَا يَقْضَمُ الْفَحْلُ " .

Ali ibn Muhammad reported to us: Abdullah ibn Numayr reported to us, from Said ibn Abi Arubah, from Qatadah, from Zurarah ibn Awfa, from Imran ibn Husayn: A man bit another man’s arm. The latter pulled his arm away and the biter’s incisor fell out. The matter was brought before the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace), who rejected the claim. He said, ‘Would one of you bite as a stallion bites?’
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The Arabic locates the bite on the forearm and identifies the tooth lost as the incisor.
