Hadith 4734
عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ قَالَ لَمَّا وَلَدَتْ فَاطِمَةُ حَسَنًا قَالَتْ أَلَا أَعُقُّ عَنِ ابْنِي بِدَمٍ قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنِ احْلِقِي رَأْسَهُ ثُمَّ تَصَدَّقِي بِوَزْنِ شَعْرِهِ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ عَلَى الْمَسَاكِينِ وَالْأَوْفَاضِ وَكَانَ الْأَوْفَاضُ نَاسًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُحْتَاجِينَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ أَوْ فِي الصُّفَّةِ قَالَ أَبُو النَّضَرِ مِنَ الْوَرِقِ عَلَى الْأَوْفَاضِ يَعْنِي أَهْلَ الصُّفَّةِ أَوْ عَلَى الْمَسَاكِينِ فَفَعَلَتْ ذَلِكَ قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا وَلَدْتُ حُسَيْنًا فَعَلْتُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Sayyida Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) gave birth to Sayyiduna Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him), she said: “Should I not offer a sacrifice and perform ‘aqiqah for my son?” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: “No, rather shave his head and then give charity in silver equal to the weight of his hair to the poor and the weak.” These weak people were some needy individuals among the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who used to stay in the mosque or on the platform (Suffah). The wording of Abu Nazr’s narration is as follows: “Spend this silver on the weak, that is, the people of Suffah and the poor.” Sayyida says: “So I did so, and then when Husayn was born, I did the same.”
Hadith 4735
عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ أَنَّ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ لَمَّا وُلِدَ أَرَادَتْ أُمُّهُ فَاطِمَةُ أَنْ تَعُقَّ عَنْهُ بِكَبْشَيْنِ فَقَالَ لَا تَعُقِّي عَنْهُ وَلَكِنِ احْلِقِي شَعْرَ رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ تَصَدَّقِي بِوَزْنِهِ مِنَ الْوَرِقِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ وُلِدَ حُسَيْنٌ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَصَنَعَتْ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ
(Second chain) When Sayyiduna Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both) was born, his mother Sayyida Fatima (may Allah be pleased with her) wanted to perform the aqiqah of two rams for him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Do not perform aqiqah for him, rather shave his head and give charity in Allah’s way equal to the weight of his hair in silver. Then when Sayyiduna Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) was born, Sayyida did the same.
Hadith 4736
عَنْ سَمُرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ كُلُّ غُلَامٍ رَهِينٌ بِعَقِيقَتِهِ تُذْبَحُ عَنْهُ يَوْمَ السَّابِعِ وَيُحْلَقُ رَأْسُهُ وَيُسَمَّى
Narrated from Sayyiduna Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Every child is held in pledge for his 'aqiqah; on the seventh day, an animal should be sacrificed on his behalf, his head should be shaved, and he should be named.
Hadith 4737
عَنْ سَمُرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ كُلُّ غُلَامٍ مُرْتَهَنٌ بِعَقِيقَتِهِ تُذْبَحُ يَوْمَ سَابِعِهِ وَيُحْلَقُ رَأْسُهُ وَيُدَمَّى
Narrated from Sayyiduna Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Every child is held in pledge for his ‘aqiqah; on the seventh day, an animal should be sacrificed on his behalf, his head should be shaved, and he should be smeared with blood.
Hadith 4738
عَنْ سَمُرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِثْلُهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ وَيُسَمَّى قَالَ هَمَّامٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ وَرَاجَعْنَاهُ وَيُدَمَّى قَالَ هَمَّامٌ فَكَانَ قَتَادَةُ يَصِفُ الدَّمَ فَيَقُولُ إِذَا ذَبَحَ الْعَقِيقَةَ تُؤْخَذُ صُوفَةٌ فَتُسْتَقْبَلُ أَوْدَاجُ الذَّبِيحَةِ ثُمَّ تُوضَعُ عَلَى يَافُوخِ الصَّبِيِّ حَتَّى إِذَا سَالَ غُسِلَ رَأْسُهُ ثُمَّ حُلِقَ بَعْدُ
(Second chain of narration) The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: It is similar to the narration mentioned above, except that in it are the words "wa yusamma," while in Hammam's narration are the words "wa yudamma," and the narrator Qatadah described the state of this blood as follows: When a person slaughters the animal for 'Aqiqah, a piece of cotton is taken and placed before the veins of the sacrifice, then it is placed on the child's crown, until the blood flows, and after washing it, the head is shaved.
