Volume 2, Book 24, Number 578:
Narrated Anas bin Malik
took ‘Abdullah bin Abu Talha to Allah’s Apostle to perform Tahnik for him. (Tahnik was a custom
among the Muslims that whenever a child was born they used to take it to the Prophet who would
chew a piece of date and put a part of its juice in the child’s mouth). I saw the Prophet and he had an
instrument for branding in his hands and was branding the camels of Zakat.
