أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ يُعْرَفُ بِالْجَوْزَاءِ بَصْرِيٌّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا قُرَيْشُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ
أَنَّ رَجُلًا عَضَّ يَدَ رَجُلٍ فَانْتَزَعَ يَدَهُ فَسَقَطَتْ ثَنِيَّتُهُ أَوْ قَالَ ثَنَايَاهُ فَاسْتَعْدَى عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَا تَأْمُرُنِي؟ تَأْمُرُنِي أَنْ آمُرَهُ؟ أَنْ يَدَعَ يَدَهُ فِي فِيكَ تَقْضَمُهَا كَمَا يَقْضَمُ الْفَحْلُ إِنْ شِئْتَ فَادْفَعْ إِلَيْهِ يَدَكَ حَتَّى يَقْضَمَهَا ثُمَّ انْتَزِعْهَا إِنْ شِئْتَ»

✧ A man bit the hand of another man, and he pulled his hand away, so his front tooth fell out, or he said "his front teeth." He sought help against him from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: "What do you order me to do? Do you order me to command him to leave his hand in your mouth for you to gnaw it as a stallion gnaws? If you wish, hand over your hand to him so he may bite it, then pull it away if you wish."
