Hadith 20256

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ ، عَن الْحَسَنِ ، عَن سَمُرَةَ أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَقُولُ : " كُلُّ غُلَامٍ رَهِينَةٌ بِعَقِيقَتِهِ ، تُذْبَحُ يَوْمَ سَابِعِهِ ، وَيُحْلَقُ ، وَيُدَمَّى " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Every boy is held in pledge for his 'aqiqah, so sacrifice should be offered for him on the seventh day, his name should be given on that day, and his head should be shaved.
