ابن حبّان:٥٣٠٨أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَمْرَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ كَانُوا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ إِذَا عَقُّوا

عَنِ الصَّبِيِّ خَضَبُوا قُطْنَةً بِدَمِ الْعَقِيقَةِ فَإِذَا حَلَقُوا رَأْسَ الصَّبِيِّ وَضَعُوهَا عَلَى رَأْسِهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «اجْعَلُوا مَكَانَ الدَّمِ خَلُوقًا»
