Hadith 23643

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي ضَمْرَةَ ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْعَقِيقَةِ ؟ فَقَالَ : " لَا أُحِبُّ الْعُقُوقَ ، وَلَكِنْ مَنْ وُلِدَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ فَأَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْسُكَ عَلَيْهِ أَوْ عَنْهُ فَلْيَفْعَلْ " .
It is narrated from a Companion (may Allah be pleased with him) that a person asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) about ‘Aqiqah. The 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 expressing 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.
