English translation

4773. It was narrated that Ya'la bin Umayyah said: "I went on a campaign with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ in the Army of Hardship,[1] and this was the deed of which I was most sure. I had a hired man who fought with another person. One of them bit the finger of the other, who pulled his finger away and a front tooth fell out. He went to the Prophet ﷺ who considered the tooth to be in vain, and said: "Would he put his hand in your mouth for you to bite it?" (Sahih)

Arabic text

4769 - أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَاءٌ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَعْلَى، عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ قَالَ: غَزَوْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَيْشَ الْعُسْرَةِ، وَكَانَ أَوْثَقَ عَمَلٍ لِي فِي نَفْسِي، وَكَانَ لِي أَجِيرٌ فَقَاتَلَ إِنْسَانًا، فَعَضَّ أَحَدُهُمَا إِصْبَعَ صَاحِبِهِ، فَانْتَزَعَ إِصْبَعَهُ، فَأَنْدَرَ ثَنِيَّتَهُ فَسَقَطَتْ، فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَهْدَرَ ثَنِيَّتَهُ وَقَالَ: «أَفَيَدَعُ يَدَهُ فِي فِيكَ تَقْضَمُهَا؟»

Commentary

'The Army of Hardship': This means the army of the Expedition of Tabuk, because it was a time of hardship and scarcity. The weather was extremely hot. The fruits and harvests had even ripened. The previous stocks of fruits and food grains had been exhausted. The journey was long. The enemy was formidably powerful and in plenty. Marching forth in such circumstances was very hard. That is why he deemed his going forth with the army his most weighty of deeds. This is because recompense is bestowed proportionate to hardship.
