Narrated by Muslim · Authentic hadith

عن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما مرفوعاً: رأى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حِمَارًا مَوْسُومَ الوَجْهِ، فأنكر ذلك؟ فقال: «والله لا أَسِمُهُ إلا أقصى شيء من الوجه» وأمر بحماره فُكُوِيَ في جَاعِرَتَيْهِ، فهو أول من كوى الجاعرتين.

“Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) saw a donkey that had been branded on the face. He disapproved of it. Thereupon, Al-‘Abbās said: "By Allah, I shall not brand (the animal) but on the part most distant from the face." Al-‘Abbās then commanded that his donkey should be branded on its hips. He was the first to brand an animal on the hips.”
