أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، ثنا دَاوُدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَنْبَارِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ دَاوُدَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ: سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْعَقِيقَةِ فَقَالَ: " لَا يُحِبُّ اللهُ الْعُقُوقَ ". كَأَنَّهُ كَرِهَ الِاسْمَ، وَقَالَ: " مَنْ وُلِدَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ فَأَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْسُكَ عَنْهُ فَلْيَنْسُكْ، عَنِ الْغُلَامِ شَاتَانِ مُكَافَأَتَانِ، وَعَنِ الْجَارِيَةِ شَاةٌ ".
Amr bin Shu'ayb narrates from his father, from his grandfather (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about the aqiqah, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah, the Lord of Might, dislikes 'al-uquq' (disobedience)." It was as if he (peace and blessings be upon him) disliked the very name aqiqah. And he said: "Whoever has a child born to him and would like to offer a sacrifice on its behalf, then two equal goats for a boy and one for a girl."
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الْمِهْرَجَانِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْمُزَكِّي، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ثنا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، ثنا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي ضَمْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُئِلَ عَنِ الْعَقِيقَةِ فَقَالَ: " لَا أُحِبُّ الْعُقُوقَ ". وَكَأَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا كَرِهَ الِاسْمَ، وَقَالَ: " مَنْ وُلِدَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ فَأَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْسُكَ عَنْ وَلَدِهِ فَلْيَفْعَلْ ". ⦗٥٠٦⦘ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: وَهَذَا إِذَا انْضَمَّ إِلَى الْأَوَّلِ قَوِيَا، وَقَدْ عَلَّقَ فِيهِمَا ذَلِكَ بِمَحَبَّتِهِ.
Zayd bin Aslam narrates from a man of Banu Damrah, from his father, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about the aqiqah, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I dislike 'al-uquq'." It was as if he (peace and blessings be upon him) disliked the name aqiqah. And he said: "Whoever has a child born to him and wishes to slaughter an animal on behalf of his child, let him do so."
Al-Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) said: When this is joined to the first narration, both become strong, and in both of them he made it dependent on one's wish.
