English translation

4584. It was narrated from 'Aṭā', from Ṣafwān bin Ya'lā, that his father said: "An employee of mine attacked a man and bit his hand. He pulled it away, and his front tooth fell out. He came to the Prophet ﷺ, but he dismissed the case and said: 'Do you want him to put his hand in your mouth so that you can bite on it like a male camel?' He said: "Ibn Abī Mulaikah narrated to me, from his grandfather, that Abū Bakr dismissed (such cases) and said: 'Away with his tooth!'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

4584 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَاءٌ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَعْلَى، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: قَاتَلَ أَجِيرٌ لِي رَجُلًا فَعَضَّ يَدَهُ، فَانْتَزَعَهَا، فَنَدَرَتْ ثَنِيَّتُهُ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَهْدَرَهَا، وَقَالَ: «أَتُرِيدُ أَنْ يَضَعَ يَدَهُ فِي فِيكَ تَقْضِمُهَا كَالْفَحْلِ؟» قَالَ: وَأَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، أَهْدَرَهَا، وَقَالَ: بَعِدَتْ سِنُّهُ
