Narrated Samurah ibn Jundub: The Prophet ﷺ said: A boy is in pledge for his Aqiqah, Sacrifice is made for him on the seventh day, his head is shaved and he is given name. Abu Dawud said: The word wa yusamma is sounder as narrated by Salam bin Abi Muti' from Qatadah, and narrated by Iyas bin Daghfal and Ashath from al-Hassan who narrated wa yusamma (and he is given a name).

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْحَسَنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ "كُلُّ غُلَامٍ رَهِينَةٌ بِعَقِيقَتِهِ تُذْبَحُ عَنْهُ يَوْمَ سَابِعِهِ وَيُحْلَقُ وَيُسَمَّى"، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ وَيُسَمَّى أَصَحُّ كَذَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ سَلَّامُ بْنُ أَبِي مُطِيعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ قَتَادَةَ،‏‏‏‏وَإِيَاسُ ابْنُ دَغْفَلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَشْعَثُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَيُسَمَّى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَرَوَاهُ أَشْعَثُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْحَسَنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ وَيُسَمَّى.

Narrated Salman bin Amir al-Dabbi: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Along with a boy there is an 'Aqiqah, so shed blood on his behalf, and remove injury from him.

حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتِ سِيرِينَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الرَّبَابِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْسَلْمَانَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ الضَّبِّيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ "مَعَ الْغُلَامِ عَقِيقَتُهُ فَأَهْرِيقُوا عَنْهُ دَمًا وَأَمِيطُوا عَنْهُ الْأَذَى".

Narrated Al-Hasan: To remove the injury is the shaving of the head.

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ خَلَفٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْحَسَنِ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ إِمَاطَةُ الْأَذَى حَلْقُ الرَّأْسِ.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sacrificed a ram for both al-Hasan and al-Husayn each (Allah be pleased with them).

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَقَّ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ وَالْحُسَيْنِ كَبْشًا كَبْشًا.

Narrated Amr bin Suhaib: On his father's authority, said that his grandfather that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about the aqiqah. He replied: Allah does not like the breaking of ties (uquq), as though he disliked the name. And he said: If anyone has a child born to him and wishes to offer a sacrifice on its behalf, he may offer two resembling sheep for a boy and one for a girl. And he was asked about Fara. He replied: Fara is right. If you leave it (i. e. let it grow till it becomes a healthy camel of one year or two years, then you give it to a widow or give it in the path of Allah for using it as a riding beast, it is better than slaughtering it at the age when its meat is stuck to its hair, and you turn over your milking vessel and annoy your she-camel.

حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الأَنْبَارِيُّ،‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَمْرٍو، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ دَاوُدَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ أُرَاهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جَدِّهِقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْعَقِيقَةِ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ "لَا يُحِبُّ اللَّهُ الْعُقُوقَ"، ‏‏‏‏‏‏كَأَنَّهُ كَرِهَ الِاسْمَ وَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ وُلِدَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ فَأَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْسُكَ عَنْهُ فَلْيَنْسُكْ عَنِ الْغُلَامِ شَاتَانِ مُكَافِئَتَانِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعَنِ الْجَارِيَةِ شَاةٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَسُئِلَ عَنِ الْفَرَعِ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَالْفَرَعُ حَقٌّ وَأَنْ تَتْرُكُوهُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ بَكْرًا شُغْزُبًّا ابْنَ مَخَاضٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَوِ ابْنَ لَبُونٍ فَتُعْطِيَهُ أَرْمَلَةً أَوْ تَحْمِلَ عَلَيْهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَذْبَحَهُ فَيَلْزَقَ لَحْمُهُ بِوَبَرِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَتَكْفِئَ إِنَاءَكَ وَتُوّلِهُ نَاقَتَكَ.

Narrated Buraydah ibn al-Hasib: When a boy was born to one of us in the pre-Islamic period, we sacrificed a sheep and smeared his head with its blood; but when Allah brought Islam, we sacrificed a sheep, shaved his head and smeared his head with saffron.

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ ثَابِت، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمعْتُ أَبِي بُرَيْدَةَ يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ كُنَّا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ إِذَا وُلِدَ لِأَحَدِنَا غُلامٌ ذَبَحَ شَاةً وَلَطَخَ رَأْسَهُ بِدَمِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمَّا جَاءَ اللَّهُ بِالإِسْلامِ كُنَّا نَذْبَحُ شَاةً وَنَحْلِقُ رَأْسَهُ وَنُلَطِّخُهُ بِزَعْفَرَانِ.
