Sayyiduna Talhah bin Ubaydullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A camel which had been branded on its face passed by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If the owners of this camel had kept the fire away from this animal, it would have been more appropriate." The narrator says: I said: "I will brand on the part farthest from its face." The narrator says: So I began branding on the raised part near the tail.
Abu Ya'la recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
Al-Bazzar also recorded it. At its beginning he recorded these words: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade branding, that it should be done on the face. The rest of the narration is as before.
