The days of the wedding feast

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Providing food on one day at a wedding is Sunnah, providing it for two days carries virtue, and providing it for three days is showing off and seeking fame."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir; its chain contains a narrator, Muhammad bin Abdullah al-Arzami, and he is matruk (abandoned).

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The walimah on the first day is a right, on the second day it is a virtue (or extra), and on the third day it is showing off and seeking fame; and whoever seeks fame, Allah Almighty will expose his seeking of fame.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir; its chain contains a narrator, Ata' bin al-Sa'ib, who suffered from confusion (ikhtilat) in his memory.

Sayyiduna Abu Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him), the freed slave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), said: When Sayyiduna Imam Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both) was born, Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) intended to sacrifice two rams for his aqiqah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not perform his aqiqah; rather, shave his head and give in charity, in the path of Allah, silver equal to the weight of his hair." Then, when Sayyiduna Imam Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) was born after him, Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) did the same.

A narration is reported from Sayyiduna Abu Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him); he said: When Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) gave birth to Sayyiduna Imam Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him), she said: Shall I not perform the aqiqah for my son by sacrificing an animal? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No! Rather, shave his head and give silver equal to the weight of his hair in charity to the poor and the awqas." (The narrator said:) The awqas were those needy people connected with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) who used to stay on the platform of the Suffah or in the mosque. After this, the narrator mentioned the report as before.
Ahmad and al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, and it is a hasan (good) hadith.

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) said: (At the birth of) Sayyiduna Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him), their heads were shaved by the order of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and then silver equal to the weight of their (hair) was given in charity. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not find (any animal) to slaughter.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and al-Bazzar recorded it. The chain of al-Tabarani's al-Mu'jam al-Kabir contains a narrator, Ibn Lahi'ah, and its chain is hasan (good), and the rest of its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.

A man from Banu Damrah narrated from his father: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about the aqiqah, and he said: "I do not like 'uquq (disobedience)." (The narrator said:) It was as though the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) disliked the word. He said: "Whoever has a child born to him and would like to offer a sacrifice on behalf of his child, let him do so."

In one narration, the narrator reported this from his father, or perhaps from his paternal uncle. Ahmad recorded all of these reports; they contain a narrator who has not been named, and the rest of its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.

Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) concerning the aqiqah that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever has a child born to him and would like to offer a sacrifice on its behalf, let him do so."

Sayyidah Aishah Siddiqah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that for the aqiqah of a boy two equal goats shall be slaughtered, and for the aqiqah of a girl one goat. Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) says: the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had two goats each sacrificed for the aqiqah of Sayyiduna Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) on the seventh day (after their birth). He ordered that the hair be removed from their heads, and he said: "Slaughter in his name and say: In the name of Allah, seeking blessing; Allah is the Greatest. O Allah, this is (received) from You and is for You, and this is the aqiqah of so-and-so." The narrator states: In the Days of Ignorance (Jahiliyyah), people would take a piece of cotton, put it in the blood of the aqiqah (animal), and then place it on the child's head. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that in place of the blood, khaluq (a type of perfume) be applied.
Abu Ya'la recorded it, and al-Bazzar recorded it in abridged form. Its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih, except for Abu Ya'la's teacher Ishaq, whom I do not know.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Jews sacrifice one ram for the aqiqah of a boy and sacrifice nothing for the aqiqah of a girl.

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:) So you should slaughter two rams on behalf of a boy and one ram on behalf of a girl."
Al-Bazzar recorded it as a narration of Abu Hafs al-Sha'ir from his father, and I have not found anyone who has given a biography of either of them.

Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Kabir and al-Awsat in similar words, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
Ibn Majah recorded this report from Yazid bin Abdullah al-Muzani. He did not say "from his father," whereas here it is mentioned as from Yazid bin Abdullah, from his father. And Allah knows best.
