[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said regarding the Aqiqah (sacrifice made for a newborn): for a baby boy, two sheep as a reward, and for a baby girl, one sheep that does not harm you, whether male or female. This was narrated by Sufyan bin 'Uyaynah from his father, and his father's mention in this hadith is doubtful."  

رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي الْعَقِيقَةِ عَنِ الْغُلَامِ شَاتَانِ مُكَافَأَتَانِ وَعَنِ الْجَارِيَةِ شَاةٌ لَا يَضُرُّكُمْ ذُكْرَانًا كُنَّ أَمْ إِنَاثًا كَذَا قَالَهُ سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَذِكْرُ أَبِيهِ فِيهِ وَهْمٌ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A boy has two sheep, and a girl has one sheep." Abu Dawud said, "This is the hadith narrated by Sufyan, and it is doubtful." The learned jurist, may Allah have mercy on him, said, "Al-Muzani narrated it in the summarized version from Ash-Shafi'i, from Sufyan, from 'Ubaidullah ibn Abi Yazid, from Siba' ibn Wahb, from Umm Kurz, and Al-Muzani and Sufyan have doubts about it in two places. One of them is that all other narrators have narrated it from Ibn 'Uyaynah, from 'Ubaidullah ibn Abi Yazid, from his father, from Siba'. The other is that they said about it, 'Siba' ibn Thabit said, and he has narrated it."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْغُلَامِ شَاتَانِ مِثْلَانِ وَعَنِ الْجَارِيَةِ شَاةٌ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ هَذَا هُوَ الْحَدِيثُ وَحَدِيثُ سُفْيَانَ وَهْمٌ قَالَ الْفَقِيهُ الْعَالِمُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَرَوَاهُ الْمُزَنِيُّ فِي الْمُخْتَصَرِ عَنِ الشَّافِعِيِّ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي يَزِيدَ عَنْ سِبَاعِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ عَنْ أُمِّ كُرْزٍ وَالْمُزَنِيُّ وَاهِمٌ فِيهِ فِي مَوْضِعَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا أَنَّ سَائِرَ الرُّوَاةِ رَوَوْهُ عَنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي يَزِيدَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سِبَاعٍ وَالْآخَرُ أَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا فِيهِ سِبَاعُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ وَقَدْ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said about a boy, two rewards, and about a girl, one reward. Abu Muhammad Al-Sakkari informed us from Ismail bin Muhammad Al-Saffar, who narrated from Ahmad bin Mansur, who narrated from Abdul Razzaq, who narrated from Ibn Juraij, who told me that Ata said about this Hadith, "It means for Ata, what are the two rewards?" He said, "They are the two mithlans (a type of sheep), and he prefers sheep over goats, and their males are dearer to him than females." Then he asked, "If a person slaughtered her in place, what do you think?" Ata said, "Start with the one that is named, then slaughter the rest as you wish." I said to him, "What about the Sunnah?" He said, "And the Sunnah."  

النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ عَنِ الْغُلَامِ شَاتَانِ مُكَافَأَتَانِ وَعَنِ الْجَارِيَةِ شَاةٌ 19279 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ السُّكَّرِيُّ بِبَغْدَادَ أنبأ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّفَّارُ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أنبأ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَاءٌ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ قُلْتُ يَعْنِي لِعَطَاءٍ وَمَا الْمُكَافَأَتَانِ؟ قَالَ الْمِثْلَانِ وَالضَّأْنُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ الْمَعْزِ وَذُكْرَانُهَا أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ إِنَاثِهَا رَأْيٌ مِنْهُ قَالَ إِنْسَانٌ لِعَطَاءٍ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ ذَبَحْتُ مَكَانَهَا جَزُورًا؟ قَالَ ابْدَأْ بِالَّذِي سَمَّى ثُمَّ اذْبَحْ بَعْدُ مَا شِئْتَ قُلْتُ لَهُ وَالسُّنَّةُ؟ قَالَ وَالسُّنَّةُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There are two rewards."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ شَاتَانِ مُكَافَأَتَانِ  

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Two resembling sheep are to be sacrificed for a boy and one for a girl. AbuDawud said: I heard Ahmad (ibn Hanbal) say: The Arabic word mukafi'atani means equal (in age) or resembling each other. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2834)   

رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ عَنِ الْغُلَامِ شَاتَانِ مُكْفَأَتَانِ وَعَنِ الْجَارِيَةِ شَاةٌ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Verily, the Jews consider the male child to be unlucky, but they do not consider the female child unlucky. So cast superstitions over male children twice as much as over female children."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ الْيَهُودَ تَعُقُّ عَنِ الْغُلَامِ وَلَا تَعُقُّ عَنِ الْجَارِيَةِ فَعُقُّوا عَنِ الْغُلَامِ شَاتَيْنِ وَعَنِ الْجَارِيَةِ شَاةً
