ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الشَّاتَيْنِ إِذَا عُقَّ بِهِمَا عَنِ الصَّبِيِّ يَجِبُ أَنْ تَكُونَا مِثْلَيْنِ

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say about 'Aqiqah, "For a boy, two equivalent sheep, and for a girl, one sheep." So I asked him, "Does it mean giving something in return for the two equivalent sheep?" He replied, "Yes, two males are more beloved to him than their females."  

ابن حبّان:٥٣١٣ – أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَزْدِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَاءٌ عَنْ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتِ مَيْسَرَةَ بْنِ أَبِي خُثَيْمٍ عَنْ أُمِّ بَنِي كُرْزٍ الْكَعْبِيِّينَ قَالَتْ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي الْعَقِيقَةِ «عَنِ الْغُلَامِ شَاتَانِ مُكَافِئَتَانِ وَعَنِ الْجَارِيَةِ شَاةٌ» فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَعْنِي عَطَاءً مَا الْمُكَافِئَتَانِ؟ قَالَ مِثْلَانِ ذُكْرَانُهُمَا أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ إِنَاثِهِمَا

[Machine] She asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the 'aqeeqah (sacrifice for a newborn). He said, "For a boy, two sheep are a reward, and for a girl, one sheep." I said to 'Ata', "What are the two rewards?" He said, "He mentioned the equal." Hajjaj said in his narration, "And the lamb is more beloved to me than the goat." And he mentioned that it is more beloved to me than its females. He said, "And we love for its blackness to be from it."
