Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with both of them) narrates: A donkey passed by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) whose face had been branded and blood was flowing from its nostrils. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: May Allah curse the person who did this. Then the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) forbade branding on the face and hitting on the face.
