Sahih Muslim 1673c (Book 28, Hadith 27) #11479
Biting is Not Allowed

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a person who bit another person's arm and the Prophet (PBUH) disapproved of it, asking if he wanted to eat his flesh.

'Imran b. Husain reported that a person bit the arm of another person; he pulled it out and his foretooth fell down. This matter was taken to Allah's Apostle , and he turned it down saying: Did you want to eat his flesh?
حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو غَسَّانَ الْمِسْمَعِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذٌ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ هِشَامٍ - حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، عَضَّ ذِرَاعَ رَجُلٍ فَجَذَبَهُ فَسَقَطَتْ ثَنِيَّتُهُ فَرُفِعَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ فَأَبْطَلَهُ وَقَالَ ‏ "‏ أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَأْكُلَ لَحْمَهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith tells us that biting someone else is not allowed in Islam. It was reported by 'Imran b. Husain that a person bit the arm of another person and pulled it out, causing his foretooth to fall down. When this matter was taken to Allah's Apostle (PBUH), he disapproved of it and asked if the perpetrator wanted to eat his flesh. This hadith teaches us that we should not harm others physically or verbally, as this goes against Islamic teachings. We should also be mindful of our actions and think before we do something which may hurt someone else or cause them any kind of harm.
