بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي الْعَقِيقَةِChapter on what is reported regarding ‘aqiqah (sacrifice for newborn)
Hadith 1053
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي ضَمْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْعَقِيقَةِ، فَقَالَ : " لَا أُحِبُّ الْعُقُوقَ "، وَكَأَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا كَرِهَ الْاسْمَ، وَقَالَ : " مَنْ وُلِدَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ، فَأَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْسُكَ عَنْ وَلَدِهِ، فَلْيَفْعَلْ "
It is narrated from a man of Banu Dhumrah, who heard from his father that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was asked about 'Aqiqah. He said: "I do not like 'Uquq," meaning he disliked this name, and said: "Whoever has a child born to him and wishes to offer a sacrifice on behalf of his child, let him do so."
