Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 21116 — Those who permitted branding

Sayyiduna Ya'la bin Murrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to a man: "Give your camel to me as a gift" (or he said: "Sell it to me"). He said: "O Messenger of Allah, this camel is yours." He put the mark of sadaqah (charity) on that camel and then sent it off.
