Chapter on the Rights of the Animal Upon Its Owner
وَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «فِي اَلدَّوَابِّ لاَ تَضْرِبُوا اَلْوُجُوهَ وَ لاَ تَلْعَنُوهَا فَإِنَّ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَعَنَ لاَعِنَهَا » وَ فِي خَبَرٍ آخَرَ «لاَ تُقَبِّحُوا اَلْوُجُوهَ.
Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام said: "Regarding animals: Do not strike their faces and do not curse them, for Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Glorious, curses the one who curses them." In another narration, Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام said: "Do not insult their faces."
