Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 25814 — Aqiqah: those who held it

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) asked: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), shall I not shed blood as aqiqah on behalf of my son? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No. Shave his head and give in charity to the poor the weight of his hair in ounces of coined or uncoined silver."
