6. Book of Sacrifices
٦۔ كِتَابُ الْأَضَاحِيِّ
“I heard the Prophet ﷺ say: ‘On behalf of a boy, two sheep of equal age and on behalf of a girl one sheep.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3162)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ فِي الْعَقِيقَةِ «عَنِ الْغُلَامِ شَاتَانِ مُكَافِئَتَانِ وَعَنِ الْجَارِيَةِ شَاةٌ»
"For a boy there shoud be an 'Aqiqah, so shed blood for him, and remove the harm from him." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4214)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَعَ الْغُلَامِ عَقِيقَةٌ فَأَهْرِيقُوا عَنْهُ دَمًا وَأَمِيطُوا عَنْهُ الْأَذَى»
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Two sheep which resemble each other are to be sacrificed for a boy and one for a girl. Abu Dawud said: This is a sound tradition, and the tradition narrated by Sufyan is misunderstanding. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2836)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «عَنِ الْغُلَامِ شَاتَانِ مِثْلَانِ وَعَنِ الْجَارِيَةِ شَاةٌ»
[Machine] About the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "Every newborn is pledged with its sacrificial animal. It is slaughtered on its seventh day, and it is shaved and named." Qatadah used to describe the blood and say: "When the sacrificial animal is slaughtered, a wool is taken and the edges of the animal are wiped with it. Then, it is placed on the forehead of the baby until the blood flows resembling a thin string. After that, the baby's head is washed, and then it is shaved." Affan said: Aban informed us with this hadith and said: Abdullah said, "And I do not consider it obligatory."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «كُلُّ غُلَامٍ رَهِينَةٌ بِعَقِيقَتِهِ يُذْبَحُ عَنْهُ يَوْمَ سَابِعِهِ وَيُحْلَقُ وَيُدَمَّى» وَكَانَ قَتَادَةُ يَصِفُ الدَّمَ فَيَقُولُ «إِذَا ذُبِحَتِ الْعَقِيقَةُ تُؤْخَذُ صُوفَةٌ فَيُسْتَقْبَلُ بِهَا أَوْدَاجُ الذَّبِيحَةِ ثُمَّ تُوضَعُ عَلَى يَافُوخِ الصَّبِيِّ حَتَّى إِذَا سَالَ شَبَهُ الْخَيْطِ غُسِلَ رَأْسُهُ ثُمَّ حُلِقَ بَعْدُ» قَالَ عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ قَالَ وَيُسَمَّى قَالَ عَبْد اللَّهِ «وَلَا أُرَاهُ وَاجِبًا»
