37. Clothing and Adornment
٣٧۔ كتاب اللباس والزينة
Jabir reported that Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade (the animals to be beaten) on the face or cauterisation on the face.
نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الضَّرْبِ فِي الْوَجْهِ وَعَنِ الْوَسْمِ فِي الْوَجْهِ
This hadith has been reported on the authority of Jabir b. 'Abdullah through another chain of transmitters.
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمِثْلِهِ
Allah has cursed one who has cauterised it (on the face).
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَرَّ عَلَيْهِ حِمَارٌ قَدْ وُسِمَ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي وَسَمَهُ
Branding animals away from the face
[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw a donkey branded on the face, and he disapproved of that. He said: By Allah, I will not brand it except on the part farthest from the face. So he ordered that a donkey of his be brought, and it was branded on the two sides of its rump; thus he was the first to brand the two sides of the rump.
وَرَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِمَارًا مَوْسُومَ الْوَجْهِ، فَأَنْكَرَ ذَلِكَ. قَالَ: فَوَاللَّهِ لاَ أَسِمُهُ إِلاَّ فِي أَقْصَى شَىْءٍ مِنَ الْوَجْهِ، فَأَمَرَ بِحِمَارٍ لَهُ فَكُوِيَ فِي جَاعِرَتَيْهِ، فَهُوَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ كَوَى الْجَاعِرَتَيْنِ.
