Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِأَخٍ لِي لِيُحَنِّكَهُ فِي الْمِرْبَدِ قَالَ فَرَأَيْتُهُ يَسِمُ شِيَاهًا أَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ فِي آذَانِهَا.
English Translation
Affan told us: Shu'ba told us, from Hisham ibn Zayd, from Anas ibn Malik, he said: I brought the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, a brother of mine so he could chew a date for him and place it in his mouth, in the animal pen. He said: I saw him branding some sheep - I think he said - on their ears.
