حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُرَّ عَلَيْهِ بِحِمَارٍ قَدْ وُسِمَ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ : " أَمَا بَلَغَكُمْ أَنِّي قَدْ لَعَنْتُ مَنْ وَسَمَ الْبَهِيمَةَ فِي وَجْهِهَا أَوْ ضَرَبَهَا فِي وَجْهِهَا " ، فَنَهَى عَنْ ذَلِكَ .
Jabir reported the Prophet ﷺ as saying when an ass which had been branded on its face passed him. Did it not reach you that I cursed him who branded the animals on their faces or struck them on their faces. So he prohibited it.

Explanation:
1:
The face is the most superior and noble among the parts of the body.
Striking the face can result in the impairment of certain senses.
Along with this, there is also the risk of the face becoming disfigured.
For this reason, not only is striking the face disliked, but also causing any kind of mark or blemish upon it is considered undesirable.
