وحَدَّثَنِي سَلَمَةُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَعْيَنَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْقِلٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرَّ عَلَيْهِ حِمَارٌ قَدْ وُسِمَ فِي وَجْهِهِ ، فَقَالَ : " لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي وَسَمَهُ " .
Jabir reported that there happened to pass before Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) an ass the face of which had been cauterised, whereupon he said: Allah has cursed one who has cauterised it (on the face).

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
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.
