Sahih Muslim: Book 28, Hadith 30

Safwan b. Ya’la b. Munya reported on the authority of his father that there came to Allah’s Apostle (ﷺ) a person who had bitten the hand of another person and who had withdrawn his hand (and as a result thereof) his foreteeth had fallen (those which had bitten). The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) turned down his (claim), and said: Do you wish to bite as the camel bites?

حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَطَاءٌ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَعْلَى ابْنِ، مُنْيَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَجُلٌ وَقَدْ عَضَّ يَدَ رَجُلٍ فَانْتَزَعَ يَدَهُ فَسَقَطَتْ ثَنِيَّتَاهُ – يَعْنِي الَّذِي عَضَّهُ – قَالَ فَأَبْطَلَهَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَقَالَ ‏
“‏ أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَقْضَمَهُ كَمَا يَقْضَمُ الْفَحْلُ ‏”‏ ‏.‏

The above hadith is from the Sahih Muslim collection of hadiths. As a primary source for Islamic law and practice, Sahih Muslim is an indispensable collection. Its creation is credited to the dedicated efforts of Muslim ibn al-Ḥajjāj, who finalized his work around the year 875. This text is universally accepted as one of the two most authentic books of hadith, sharing this distinguished status with Sahih al-Bukhari. Together, they are part of the six revered collections called the Kutub al-Sittah. The Sahih Muslim itself is a large volume, containing roughly 7,459 separate hadith reports that are carefully categorized within a framework of 56 books.
