أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، عَضَّ آخَرَ عَلَى ذِرَاعِهِ فَاجْتَذَبَهَا فَانْتَزَعَتْ ثَنِيَّتَهُ فَرُفِعَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَبْطَلَهَا وَقَالَ " أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَقْضَمَ لَحْمَ أَخِيكَ كَمَا يَقْضَمُ الْفَحْلُ " .
'Imran bin Husain Narrated from:
A man bit another man on the forearm: he pulled it away and a front tooth fell out. The matter was referred to the Messenger of Allah and he canceled (the Diyah) and said: "Did you want to bite your brother's flesh as a stallion bites?"

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 4759
This Hadith gives another report of the biting case. A man bit another man on the forearm. The bitten man pulled his arm away, and one of the biter's front teeth fell out. The case was taken to the Messenger of Allah, and he canceled the claim. He then asked whether the man wanted to bite his brother's flesh like a stallion bites. The core topic is self-defense and injury claims. For readers searching for hadith about biting forearm, diyah canceled hadith, or tooth fell out hadith, this narration is clear. The one who began the biting was not given what he sought after the other person pulled away from being harmed.
What we learn from this hadith
- The person who was bitten pulled away from the bite.
- The Prophet canceled the claim connected to the fallen tooth.
- The Hadith criticizes biting another person's flesh.
- The narration shows that the one who starts harm may not receive support for the result of that harm.
