61. Sacrificial Animals

٦١۔ كِتَابُ الضَّحَايَا

61.45 [Machine] What can be inferred from this heading is that: "The evidence for the permissibility of Aqeeqah is based on choice, not obligation.

٦١۔٤٥ بَابُ مَا يُسْتَدَلُّ بِهِ عَلَى أَنَّ الْعَقِيقَةَ عَلَى الِاخْتِيَارِ لَا عَلَى الْوُجُوبِ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said: "Narrated by Muhammad ibn Sulaiman Al-Anbari, from Abdul-Malik ibn Amr, from Dawud, from Amr ibn Shuaib, from his father, from his grandfather, who said: The Prophet ﷺ was asked about 'Aqiqah (sacrificial offering for a newborn). He replied: "Allah does not like disobedience, as if He hates the name. And whoever is blessed with a child and wishes to offer a sacrifice for him, let him present two sheep as a reward for a boy and one sheep for a girl."  

البيهقي:١٩٢٧٤أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ ثنا دَاوُدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَنْبَارِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ دَاوُدَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنِ الْعَقِيقَةِ فَقَالَ لَا يُحِبُّ اللهُ الْعُقُوقَ كَأَنَّهُ كَرِهَ الِاسْمَ وَقَالَ مَنْ وُلِدَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ فَأَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْسُكَ عَنْهُ فَلْيَنْسُكْ عَنِ الْغُلَامِ شَاتَانِ مُكَافَأَتَانِ وَعَنِ الْجَارِيَةِ شَاةٌ

[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."  

البيهقي:١٩٢٧٥أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الْمِهْرَجَانِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْمُزَكِّي ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ثنا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ ثنا مَالِكٌ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي ضَمْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ سُئِلَ عَنِ الْعَقِيقَةِ فَقَالَ لَا أُحِبُّ الْعُقُوقَ وَكَأَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا كَرِهَ الِاسْمَ وَقَالَ مَنْ وُلِدَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ فَأَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْسُكَ عَنْ وَلَدِهِ فَلْيَفْعَلْ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَهَذَا إِذَا انْضَمَّ إِلَى الْأَوَّلِ قَوِيَا وَقَدْ عَلَّقَ فِيهِمَا ذَلِكَ بِمَحَبَّتِهِ
