quarrelled with somebody, and one of the two bit the hand of the other (`Ata’, the sub-narrator, said,
“Safwan told me who bit whom but I forgot it”), and the one who was bitten, pulled his hand out of

incisor). The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Should he leave his hand in your mouth so that you might snap it as if it
were in the mouth of a male camel to snap it?”
“ أَفَيَدَعُ يَدَهُ فِي فِيكَ تَقْضَمُهَا، كَأَنَّهَا فِي فِي فَحْلٍ يَقْضَمُهَا ”.
