1416. 'Imrān bin Ḥuṣain narrated: "A man bit the hand of another man. The man who was bitten pulled his hand out, causing two of his incisors (teeth) to fall out. They brought their case to the Prophet ﷺ. So he said: "One of you bites his brother like the stallion bites? There is no blood-money for you.' So Allāh Most High revealed: Wounds, equal for equal."[1] (Sahih)

Commentary
This narration proves that there is no blood-money if an assailant is hurt during his assault. If someone is defending himself, and the assailant is hurt, there is no blood-money for him.
