١٧١٠ - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «نَهَى عَنِ الْوَسْمِ فِي الْوَجْهِ وَالضَّرْبِ» هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Commentary
The face, whether of a man or of an animal, is the centre of attraction. It is, moreover, among the most vulnerable parts of the body. It cannot stand the shock of beating. Striking the animal on the face means disfiguring it and making it look ugly. Branding the face or tattooing it also means the same - torturing the animal and disfiguring it.
