Hadith.2476 - Hammad ibn Uthman narrated from Abu Abdullah (as), who said: I said to him, "May I be your ransom! We see markings on the undersides of the forelegs of animals, like two patches or brands. What is that?" Imam (as) replied: "That is the place where their nostrils were positioned while they were in their mother's womb."
