2564. It was reported from Abū Az-Zubair, from Jābir who said: "A donkey, which had been branded in the face, passed by the Prophet ﷺ. He said: 'Has it not reached you people, that I have cursed those who brand animals on their faces, or strike them on their faces?' so he prohibited that." (Sahih)
2564 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُرَّ عَلَيْهِ بِحِمَارٍ قَدْ وُسِمَ فِي وَجْهِهِ، فَقَالَ : «أَمَا بَلَغَكُمْ أَنِّي قَدْ لَعَنْتُ مَنْ وَسَمَ الْبَهِيمَةَ فِي وَجْهِهَا أَوْ ضَرَبَهَا فِي وَجْهِهَا؟» فَنَهَى عَنْ ذَلِكَ

The face, whether of man or animal, is the most respectable part of the body. It is, therefore, prohibited to strike it.
