Al-Lu'lu Wal-MarjanHadith Number 1088
حديث عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا عَضَّ يَدَ رَجُل، فَنَزَعَ يَدَهُ مِنْ فَمِهِ فَوَقَعَتْ ثَنِيَّتَاهُ فَاخْتَصَمُوا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: يَعَضُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ كَمَا يَعَضُّ الْفَحْلُ لَا دِيَةَ لَكَ.
'Imran bin Husain Narrated from:
A man bit another man's hand and the latter pulled his hand out of his mouth by force, causing two of his incisors (teeth) to fall out. They submitted their case to the Prophet ﷺ who said, "One of you bit his brother as a male camel bites (go away), there is no Diya (blood money) for you.” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 30, Vol. 9)
