Musnad Ahmad 4054

Translation

✧ We came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about a man, asking his permission to cauterize him. He remained silent. Then we asked him a second time, and he remained silent. Then we asked him the third time, and he said: 'Cauterize him with heated stones if you wish,' as if he were angry.
