[Machine] Narrated to me Abu Rafi', the servant of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , that when Hasan ibn Ali was born, his mother Fatimah wanted to offer a sacrifice for him with two sheep. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do not sacrifice for him, instead shave his head and give its weight in silver in charity for the sake of Allah." Then, after that, Husain was born and she did the same for him.  

فَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ لَمَّا وُلِدَ أَرَادَتْ أُمُّهُ فَاطِمَةُ أَنْ تَعُقَّ عَنْهُ بِكَبْشَيْنِ فَقَالَ لَا تَعُقِّي عَنْهُ وَلَكِنْ احْلِقِي شَعْرَ رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ تَصَدَّقِي بِوَزْنِهِ مِنَ الْوَرِقِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ ثُمَّ وُلِدَ حُسَيْنٌ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَصَنَعَتْ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ  

[Machine] Abu Rafa'i, the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , told me that when Hassan ibn Ali the Elder was born, his mother Fatimah wanted to sacrifice two sheep. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not sacrifice on his behalf, but shave his head and give charity of the weight of his hair in gold to the cause of Allah." After that, Hussein was born and she did the same for him.  

أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو رَافِعٍ مَوْلىَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّ حَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ الْأَكْبَرَ حِينَ وُلِدَ أَرَادَتْ أُمُّهُ فَاطِمَةُ أَنْ تَعُقَّ بِكَبْشَيْنِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَعُقِّي عَنْهُ وَلَكِنِ احْلِقِي شَعْرَ رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ تَصَدَّقِي بِوَزْنِ رَأْسِهِ مِنَ الْوَرِقِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ ثُمَّ وُلِدَ حُسَيْنٌ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَصَنَعَتْ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ  

[Machine] “To redeem yourself from it, sacrifice a great ram, then come to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said, 'Do not redeem yourself from it with anything, but shave his hair, then donate an amount equivalent to its weight in gold in the way of Allah or upon the poor.' Then Lady Fatima gave birth to Al-Hussein ﷺ in the following year and did the same with him.”  

أَنْ تَعُقَّ عَنْهُ بِكَبْشٍ عَظِيمٍ فَأَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «لَا تَعُقِّي عَنْهُ بِشَيْءٍ وَلَكِنِ احْلِقِي شَعَرَ رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ تَصَدَّقِي بِوَزْنِهِ مِنَ الْوَرِقِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ أَوْ عَلَى الْأَوْفَاضِ» «ثُمَّ وَلَدَتِ الْحُسَيْنَ ؓ مِنَ الْعَامِ الْمُقْبِلِ فَصَنَعَتْ بِهِ كَذَلِكَ»  

[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
