"O Messenger of Allah! (What about) the Fara'?" He said: "It is a duty, but if you leave it (the animal) until it becomes half-grown and you load upon it (in Jihad) in the cause of Allah or give it to a widow, that is better than if you slaughter it (when it is just born) and its flesh is difficult to separate from its skin, then you turn your vessel upside down (because you will no longer be able to get milk from the mother) and you cause your she-camel to grieve (at the loss of its young)." They said: "O Messenger of Allah, (what about) the 'Atirah?" He said: "The 'Atirah is a duty." (Hasan) Abu 'Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasa'i) said: Abu 'Ali Al-Hanafi (one of the narrators); they are four brothers: One of them is Abu Bakr, and Bishr, and Sharik, and the other.  

عَنْ أَبِيهِ } وَزَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الْفَرَعَ قَالَ حَقٌّ فَإِنْ تَرَكْتَهُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ بَكْرًا فَتَحْمِلَ عَلَيْهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَوْ تُعْطِيَهُ أَرْمَلَةً خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَذْبَحَهُ فَيَلْصَقَ لَحْمُهُ بِوَبَرِهِ فَتُكْفِئَ إِنَاءَكَ وَتُوَلِّهَ نَاقَتَكَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَالْعَتِيرَةُ قَالَ الْعَتِيرَةُ حَقٌّ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحَنَفِيُّ هُمْ أَرْبَعَةُ إِخْوَةٍ أَحَدُهُمْ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَبِشْرٌ وَشَرِيكٌ وَآخَرُ  

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.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الأَنْبَارِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَمْرٍو عَنْ دَاوُدَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أُرَاهُ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْعَقِيقَةِ فَقَالَ لاَ يُحِبُّ اللَّهُ الْعُقُوقَ كَأَنَّهُ كَرِهَ الاِسْمَ وَقَالَ مَنْ وُلِدَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ فَأَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْسُكَ عَنْهُ فَلْيَنْسُكْ عَنِ الْغُلاَمِ 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 وَتُكْفِئَ إِنَاءَكَ وَتُوَلِّهَ نَاقَتَكَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about 'Aqeeqah'. He replied, "Indeed, Allah does not like disobedience, and it is as if He dislikes the name. They said, "O Messenger of Allah, we are asking you about a person who has a child born to him." He said, "Whoever among you wants to sacrifice for his child, let him do two sheep as a reward for a boy and one sheep for a girl." He was asked about 'Fara'. He said, "And giving up Fara is a right, and leaving it until it becomes one or two years old, born of mature parents, or a father of a well-reputed, then carrying it for the sake of Allah, or giving it to a widow, is better than slaughtering it. Its flesh adheres to its bones, and it fills your container, and you give it to your neighbors." He was asked about 'Atira'. He said, "Atira is a right." Some people asked 'Amr bin Shuaib, "What is Atira?" He said, "They used to slaughter a sheep in the month of Rajab, cook it, eat it and feed others."  

سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْعَقِيقَةِ؟ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْعُقُوقَ وَكَأَنَّهُ كَرِهَ الِاسْمَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِإِنَّمَا نَسْأَلُكَ عَنْ أَحَدِنَا يُولَدُ لَهُ؟ قَالَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَنْسُكَ عَنْ وَلَدِهِ فَلْيَفْعَلْ عَنِ الْغُلَامِ شَاتَانِ مُكَافَأَتَانِ وَعَنِ الْجَارِيَةِ شَاةٌ قَالَ وَسُئِلَ عَنِ الْفَرَعِ؟ قَالَ وَالْفَرَعُ حَقٌّ وَأَنْ تَتْرُكَهُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ شُغْزُبًّا أَوْ شُغْزُوبًّا ابْنَ مَخَاضٍ أَوِ ابْنَ لَبُونٍ فَتَحْمِلَ عَلَيْهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ أَوْ تُعْطِيَهُ أَرْمَلَةً خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَذْبَحَهُ يَلْصَقُ لَحْمُهُ بِوَبَرِهِ وَتُكْفِئُ إِنَاءَكَ وَتُولِهُ نَاقَتَكَ وَقَالَ وَسُئِلَ عَنِ الْعَتِيرَةِ؟ فَقَالَ الْعَتِيرَةُ حَقٌّ قَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ لِعَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ مَا الْعَتِيرَةُ؟ قَالَ كَانُوا يَذْبَحُونَ فِي رَجَبٍ شَاةً فَيَطْبُخُونَ وَيَأْكُلُونَ وَيُطْعِمُونَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about al-Fara'. He said, "Al-Fara' is a right, even if you leave it until it becomes equal to the size of a newborn foal or the size of a lamb. You may carry it in the path of Allah or give it to a widow, which is better than to let it stick to your flesh and make your vessel low. And hand it over, O your camel."  

سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْفَرَعِ؟ فَقَالَ الْفَرَعُ حَقٌّ وَإِنْ تَرَكْتَهُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ شُغْزُبًّا ابْنَ مَخَاضٍ أَوِ ابْنَ لَبُونٍ فَتَحْمِلَ عَلَيْهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ أَوْ تُعْطِيَهُ أَرْمَلَةً خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَبُكَّهُ يَلْصَقُ لَحْمُهُ بِوَبَرِهِ وَتَكْفَأَ إِنَاءَكَ وَتُولِهُ نَاقَتَكَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about "al-fara'", and he said, "Al-fara' is a right, and even if you leave it until it becomes the offspring of a she-camel or a ewe, it is still incumbent upon you to take care of it for the sake of Allah, or to give it to a widow. This is better than slaughtering it, as its meat will stick to its bones, and you will drive it with your camel." (Narration reported in Sahih Muslim)  

سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْفَرَعِ فَقَالَ «الْفَرَعُ حَقٌّ وَإِنْ تَرَكْتَهُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ ابْنَ مَخَاضٍ أَوِ ابْنَ لَبُونٍ فَتَحْمِلَ عَلَيْهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَوْ تُعْطِيَهُ أَرْمَلَةً خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَذْبَحَهُ يَلْصَقَ لَحْمُهُ بِوَبَرِهِ وَتُولِهُ نَاقَتَكَ» صحيح

(Using translation from Nasāʾī 4225)   

عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَزِيدَ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ الْفَرَعُ قَالَ «حَقٌّ وَأَنْ تَتْرُكَهُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ بِكْرًا فَتَحْمِلُ عَلَيْهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ أَوْ تُعْطِيَهُ أَرْمَلَةً خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَذْبَحَهُ يَتَلَصَّقُ لَحْمُهُ بِوَبَرِهِ فَتُكْفِئَ إِنَاءَكَ وَتُوَلِّهِ نَاقَتَكَ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَالْعَتِيرَةُ؟ قَالَ «الْعَتِيرَةُ حَقٌّ»  

"الْفرَع حَقٌّ وإِنْ تَتْركوه حَتَّى يكونَ بَكْرًا شَعْريًا ابْنَ مَخَاض أَو ابْنَ لَبون، فَتُعْطِيَه أَرْمَلَةً، أوْ تَحْمِلَ عَلَيهُ فِي سَبيلِ اللهِ خَيرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَذْبَحَه فَيُلْزِقَ لَحْمَهُ بِوَبَرِهِ، وَتُكْفِئَ إِنَاءَكَ، وتُوَلِّه نَاقَتَكَ" .
