سنن أبي داود#4585Sahihحَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، أَخْبَرَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، وَعَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ، بِهَذَا زَادَ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِلْعَاضِّ " إِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْ تُمَكِّنَهُ مِنْ يَدِكَ فَيَعَضَّهَا ثُمَّ تَنْزِعَهَا مِنْ فِيهِ " . وَأَبْطَلَ دِيَةَ أَسْنَانِهِ .
The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Ya'la b. Umayyah through a different chain of narrators. This version has:The Prophet (ﷺ) said to the man bit him: If you wish that you give him control over your hand and he bites it, and then you drive it away from his mouth (you may do it). He imposed no retaliation for his teeth
Scholarly Authentication
The label above is the grade most of these scholars gave, each scholar counted once — one dissenting opinion no longer speaks for all of them.

Each scholar's own wording:
Our source also lists this ruling under Muhammad Muhyi Al-Din Abdul Hamid, the editor of the printed edition it was taken from. It is al-Albani's ruling printed again, so it is counted once.
