Sunan an-Nasai 4759 (Book 45, Hadith 54) #19292
Cancelling Diyah for Biting

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) cancelled the Diyah (compensation) for a man who bit another man and lost his tooth, and instead asked if he wanted to bite his brother's flesh like a stallion.

It was narrated from 'Imran bin Husain that a man bit another man on the forearm: he pulled it away and a front tooth fell out. The matter was referred to the Messenger of Allah and he canceled (the Diyah) and said: "Did you want to bite your brother's flesh as a stallion bites?"
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، عَضَّ آخَرَ عَلَى ذِرَاعِهِ فَاجْتَذَبَهَا فَانْتَزَعَتْ ثَنِيَّتَهُ فَرُفِعَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ فَأَبْطَلَهَا وَقَالَ ‏ "‏ أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَقْضَمَ لَحْمَ أَخِيكَ كَمَا يَقْضَمُ الْفَحْلُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of brotherly love and compassion. It was narrated from 'Imran bin Husain that a man bit another man on the forearm, causing him to lose one of his front teeth. The matter was referred to the Messenger of Allah, who cancelled the compensation that would have been due for such an injury and instead asked if he wanted to bite his brother's flesh like a stallion bites. This hadith teaches us that we should not harm our brothers or sisters in any way, even if it is unintentional or accidental.
