Sunan an-Nasai 4765 (Book 45, Hadith 60) #19298
No Blood Money for Biting Like a Stallion

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) judged that a man who bit another man like a stallion does not deserve blood money.

It was narrated from Safwan bin 'Abdullah that his two paternal uncles, Salamah and Ya'la, the sons of Umayyah, said: "We went out with the Messenger of Allah on the campaign of Tabuk, and there was a friend of ours with us, who fought with a man from among the Muslims. The man bit him on the forearm, so he pulled it away from his mouth and a tooth fell out. The man came to the Prophet, seeking blood money, but his brother and bite him like a stallion bites, then come and demand blood money? There is no blood money for that". And the Messenger of Allah judged it to be invalid.
أَخْبَرَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عَمَّيْهِ، سَلَمَةَ وَيَعْلَى ابْنَىْ أُمَيَّةَ قَالاَ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ وَمَعَنَا صَاحِبٌ لَنَا فَقَاتَلَ رَجُلاً مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَعَضَّ الرَّجُلُ ذِرَاعَهُ فَجَذَبَهَا مِنْ فِيهِ فَطَرَحَ ثَنِيَّتَهُ فَأَتَى الرَّجُلُ النَّبِيَّ يَلْتَمِسُ الْعَقْلَ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ يَنْطَلِقُ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى أَخِيهِ فَيَعَضُّهُ كَعَضِيضِ الْفَحْلِ ثُمَّ يَأْتِي يَطْلُبُ الْعَقْلَ لاَ عَقْلَ لَهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَأَبْطَلَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the judgment of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) regarding an incident between two men. One of them bit the other like a stallion would bite and the bitten man sought blood money from him. However, the Prophet Muhammad judged that no blood money should be given as it was not intentional and he compared it to how a stallion bites. This teaches us that we should be careful with our actions and think before we act as there are consequences for our actions. We should also remember to seek justice in all matters and follow what is right according to Islamic teachings.
