Sunan Abi Dawud 2564 (Book 15, Hadith 88) #22855
Prohibiting Branding and Striking Animals on Their Faces

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ prohibited branding or striking animals on their faces.

Jabir reported the Prophet as saying when an ass which had been branded on its face passed him. Did it not reach you that I cursed him who branded the animals on their faces or struck them on their faces. So he prohibited it.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ 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

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is narrated by Jabir, who reported that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said when he saw an ass which had been branded on its face. He cursed those who brand animals on their faces or strike them in such a way. This shows us that the Prophet ﷺ was very compassionate towards animals and taught us to be kind to them as well. He also taught us not to cause any unnecessary pain or suffering to any living creature, even if it is an animal. We should treat all creatures with respect and kindness, just as we would want others to treat us with respect and kindness.
