Anas added: I got myself branded cauterized) for pleurisy, when Allah's Apostle was still alive. Abu Talha, Anas bin An-Nadr and Zaid bin Thabit witnessed that, and it was Abu Talha who branded (cauterized) me.

Hadith Commentary:
Although branding (daghna) is not liked by the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), in cases of necessity, permission is granted within the limits of what is permissible in such situations.

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
Previously, the treatment for pain in the ribs was described as using Indian aloeswood (ʿūd hindī), to be placed on one side of the mouth. In this hadith, another treatment is mentioned: in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), Anas (radi Allahu anhu) was cauterized due to this illness, while eminent Companions such as Zayd ibn Thabit and Anas ibn Nadr (radi Allahu anhum) were also present.
The act of cauterization was performed by Abu Talhah (radi Allahu anhu).
(2)
Although the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) did not like this treatment, it was adopted out of necessity.
In any case, in times of necessity, seeking treatment through this means is permissible and allowed.
If any other treatment is possible, then one should avoid this method of treatment.
And Allah knows best.
