حَدَّثَنَا
إِسْحَاقُ بنُ عِيسَى ، أَخْبرَنِي
مَالِكٌ ، عَنْ
زَيْدِ بنِ أَسْلَمَ ، عَنْ
رَجُلٍ مِنْ بنِي ضَمْرَةَ ، عَنْ
أَبيهِ أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُئِلَ عَنِ الْعَقِيقَةِ ، فَقَالَ : " لَا أُحِب الْعُقُوقَ " ، كَأَنَّهُ كَرِهَ الِاسْمَ ، وَقَالَ :
" مَنْ وُلِدَ لَهُ ، فَأَحَب أَنْ يَنْسُكَ عَنْ وَلَدِهِ فَلْيَفْعَلْ " .
It is narrated from a Companion (may Allah be pleased with him) that a person asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about ‘Aqiqah. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I do not like ‘Uquq (from which this word is derived and which means disobedience to parents), thus he expressed dislike for this word, and said: Whoever has a child born to him and wishes to slaughter an animal on his behalf, he should do so.
