61. Sacrificial Animals
٦١۔ كِتَابُ الضَّحَايَا
[Machine] Fatimah, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , weighed the hair of Hasan, Husain, Zainab, and Um Kulthum. She then gave that weight in silver as charity. This narration is reported by Rabee'ah, from Muhammad bin Ali bin Husain, regarding Hasan and Husain (peace be upon them).
أَنَّهُ قَالَ وَزَنَتْ فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ شَعْرَ حَسَنٍ وَحُسَيْنٍ وَزَيْنَبَ وَأُمِّ كُلْثُومٍ فَتَصَدَّقَتْ بِزِنَةِ ذَلِكَ فِضَّةً وَرُوِّينَاهُ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ فِي حَسَنٍ وَحُسَيْنٍ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلَامُ
[Machine] Fatimah, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, is reported to have sacrificed a sheep for Hassan and Hussein when she gave birth to them, then shaved their hair. She then donated (charitably) the equivalent weight of their hair in silver.
أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ذَبَحَتْ عَنْ حَسَنٍ وَحُسَيْنٍ حِينَ وَلَدَتْهُمَا شَاةً وَحَلَقَتْ شُعُورَهُمَا ثم تَصَدَّقَتْ بِوَزْنِهِ فِضَّةً
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) saying, "Adorn the hair of Al-Husain and give charity equivalent to its weight in silver, and give the midwife a gift of a piece of aqiq." This is mentioned in this narration, and Al-Humaidi narrated from Al-Husain ibn Zaid from Ja'far ibn Muhammad from his father that Ali ibn Abi Talib gave a gift to the midwife of aqiq. Hafs ibn Ghayath also narrated from Ja'far ibn Muhammad from his father from the Prophet ﷺ that he sent a message to send a gift to the midwife from it. Another narration from Muhammad ibn Ishaq from Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr from Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Hussein from Ali that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded Al-Hasan to sacrifice a sheep and said, "O Fatimah, shave his head and give charity equivalent to the weight of his hair in silver." We weighed it and its weight was a dirham and some dirhams. This is also mentioned in another disconnected narration, and it is said in his narration from Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Hussein from his father from his grandfather from Ali, and I do not know if it is preserved or not.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَرَ فَاطِمَةَ عَلَيْهَا السَّلَامُ فَقَالَ زِنِي شَعْرَ الْحُسَيْنِ وَتَصَدَّقِي بِوَزْنِهِ فِضَّةً وَأَعْطِي الْقَابِلَةَ رِجْلَ الْعَقِيقَةِ كَذَا فِي هَذِهِ الرِّوَايَةِ وَرَوَى الْحُمَيْدِيُّ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ أَعْطَى الْقَابِلَةَ رِجْلَ الْعَقِيقَةِ وَرَوَاهُ حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مُرْسَلًا فِي أَنْ يَبْعَثُوا إِلَى الْقَابِلَةِ مِنْهَا بِرِجْلٍ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ قَالَ عَقَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بِشَاةٍ وَقَالَ يَا فَاطِمَةُ احْلِقِي رَأْسَهُ وَتَصَدَّقِي بِزِنَةِ شَعْرِهِ فِضَّةً فَوَزَنَّاهُ فَكَانَ وَزْنُهُ دِرْهَمًا وَبَعْضَ دِرْهَمٍ وَهَذَا أَيْضًا مُنْقَطِعٌ وَقِيلَ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ وَلَا أَدْرِي مَحْفُوظٌ هُوَ أَمْ لَا
[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, should I not sacrifice my son according to tradition?" He replied, "No, but rather shave his hair and give in charity an amount equivalent to its weight in gold to the needy or the poor." Ali said, "Shariq means the people of Sufah." So she did that. When she gave birth to Husayn, she did the same."
يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَا أَعُقُّ عَنِ ابْنِي بِدَمٍ؟ قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنِ احْلِقِي شَعْرَهُ وَتَصَدَّقِي بِوَزْنِهِ مِنَ الْوَرِقِ عَلَى الْأَوْفَاضِ أَوْ عَلَى الْمَسَاكِينِ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ قَالَ شَرِيكٌ يَعْنِي بِالْأَوْفَاضِ أَهْلَ الصُّفَّةِ فَفَعَلَتْ ذَلِكَ فَلَمَّا وَلَدَتْ حُسَيْنًا فَعَلَتْ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ
[Machine] That she (a woman) vows to offer a sacrifice of a great ram, so she came to the Prophet ﷺ and he said to her, "Do not offer any sacrifice, but shave his head and then give charity of its weight in silver for the sake of Allah or give it to a poor person." And she gave birth to Al-Hussein the following year. So Ibn Aqeel did the same thing which no one else did. And if this is authentic, it is as if he wanted to take on the responsibility of the 'Aqeeqah (sacrifice offered upon the birth of a child) for both of them himself, as we narrated it. So he commanded her to do something else, which is to give charity of the weight of their hair in silver, and success is from Allah.
أَنْ تَعُقَّ عَنْهُ بِكَبْشٍ عَظِيمٍ فَأَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهَا لَا تَعُقِّي عَنْهُ بِشَيْءٍ وَلَكِنِ احْلِقِي شَعْرَ رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ تَصَدَّقِي بِوَزْنِهِ مِنَ الْوَرِقِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ ﷻ أَوْ عَلَى ابْنِ السَّبِيلِ وَوَلَدَتِ الْحُسَيْنَ مِنَ الْعَامِ الْمُقْبِلِ فَصَنَعَتْ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ ابْنُ عَقِيلٍ وَهُوَ إِنْ صَحَّ فَكَأَنَّهُ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَتَوَلَّى الْعَقِيقَةَ عَنْهُمَا بِنَفْسِهِ كَمَا رُوِّينَاهُ فَأَمَرَهَا بِغَيْرِهَا وَهُوَ التَّصَدُّقُ بِوَزْنِ شَعْرِهِمَا مِنَ الْوَرِقِ وَبِاللهِ التَّوْفِيقُ
