4776. It was narrated from Šafwân bin Ya'la that his father went on the campaign of Tabûk with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, and he hired a man who fought with another man. The man bit his forearm, and when it hurt him, he pulled it away, and the man's front tooth fell out. The matter was referred to the Messenger of Allâh
who said: "Would one of you deliberately bite his brother as a stallion bites?" And he judged it to be invalid. (Saḥīḥ)

Commentary
Repeatedly bringing one and the same narration with different chains of transmitters has brought all the minute details of the incident to the fore that this incident belongs to the journey of the Expedition of Tabuk. The fighting individuals were the servant of Ya'la and one other person. The other person bit the servant, and his own tooth fell out. He only was reprimanded.
