It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Majliz that Hazrat Imran bin Husain used to forbid branding (with fire), but then he himself was afflicted (with an illness), so he branded himself. After that, he used to say in a loud voice that I branded myself with fire, but it neither relieved the pain nor cured the illness.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah, he says that a person was brought to the service of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about whom it was ordered to be cauterized. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to him: "Cauterize him," or he said, "Cauterize him with a hot stone."

It is narrated from Hazrat Jarir that he says Hazrat Umar swore an oath to me and said that I will certainly and definitely cauterize myself.

Hazrat Hasan bin Saad narrates from his father that he said: Hazrat Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) had a Bactrian she-camel whose hump had fallen to one side, so he ordered me to slaughter it and brand it.

It is narrated from Hazrat Mujahid that Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) branded one of his sons while he was in the state of Ihram.
