ahmad:23134Isḥāq b. ʿĪsá > Mālik > Zayd b. Aslam > a man from Banī Ḍamrah from his father

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about Aqeeqah, so he said, "I do not like to be disobedient, as if he disliked the name. And he said, 'Whoever has a child and wants to sacrifice for his child, let him do so.'"  

أحمد:٢٣١٣٤حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عِيسَى أَخْبَرَنِي مَالِكٌ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي ضَمْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ سُئِلَ عَنِ الْعَقِيقَةِ فَقَالَ لَاأُحِبُّ الْعُقُوقَ كَأَنَّهُ كَرِهَ الِاسْمَ وَقَالَ مَنْ وُلِدَ لَهُ فَأَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْسُكَ عَنْ وَلَدِهِ فَلْيَفْعَلْ

malik:26-1Yaḥyá > Mālik > Zayd b. Aslam > a man Min Banī Ḍamrah from his father

Yahya related to me from Zayd ibn Aslam from a man of the Banu Damra that his father said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about the Aqiqa. He said, 'I do not like disobedience (uquq),' as if he disliked the name. He said, 'If anyone has a child born to him, and wants to sacrifice for his child, then let him do it.' "  

مالك:٢٦-١حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي ضَمْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ

أَنَّهُ قَالَ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْعَقِيقَةِ فَقَالَ لاَ أُحِبُّ الْعُقُوقَ وَكَأَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا كَرِهَ الاِسْمَ وَقَالَ مَنْ وُلِدَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ فَأَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْسُكَ عَنْ وَلَدِهِ فَلْيَفْعَلْ  

ahmad:6822Wakīʿ > Dāwud b. Qays al-Farrāʾ > ʿAmr b. Shuʿaybʿan Abīh from his father

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about 'Aqiqah (sacrificial offering for a new-born). He replied, "I do not like disobedience. Whoever has a newborn, it is preferable for them to offer a sacrifice on their behalf. For a baby boy, two sheep should be given as a reward, and for a baby girl, one sheep should be given."

سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْعَقِيقَةِ؟ فَقَالَ لَا أُحِبُّ الْعُقُوقَ وَمَنْ وُلِدَ لَهُ مَوْلُودٌ فَأَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْسُكَ عَنْهُ فَلْيَفْعَلْ عَنِ الْغُلَامِ شَاتَانِ مُكَافَأَتَانِ وَعَنِ الْجَارِيَةِ شَاةٌ  

ahmad:23643ʿAbd al-Raḥman > Sufyān > Zayd b. Aslam > a man from Banī Ḍamrah > a man from Qawmih

[Machine] I asked the Prophet ﷺ about the 'Aqiqah (sacrifice for a newborn), and he said, "I do not like disobedience, but whoever has a child born to him, and wishes to offer a sacrifice for him or from him, then they should do so."  

أحمد:٢٣٦٤٣حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي ضَمْرَةَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ قَالَ

سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَنِ الْعَقِيقَةِ فَقَالَ لَا أُحِبُّ الْعُقُوقَ وَلَكِنْ مَنْ وُلِدَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ فَأَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْسُكَ عَلَيْهِ أَوْ عَنْهُ فَلْيَفْعَلْ

[Machine] He said, "I witnessed the Prophet ﷺ at Arafat, and he was asked about 'Aqeeqah (sacrifice for the newborn). He replied, 'I do not like disobedience (to parents), but whoever has a child born to him and wants to sacrifice for him, let him do so."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about Aqeeqah, so he said, "I do not like disobedience. Whoever from amongst you has a child born to him, let him offer a sacrifice on his behalf. For a boy, two sheep are to be sacrificed, and for a girl, one sheep is to be sacrificed."

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ was asked about 'Aqeeqah (sacrificial offering for a newborn). He responded, "I do not like disobedience. It seems as though he dislikes the name. And whoever has a child and wishes to perform 'Aqeeqah for them, then they should do so." The Sheikh, may Allah have mercy on him, said, "This is when it is combined with the first [i.e., hating the name], and he [the Prophet ﷺ] associated those two things with his love."
