② عن أنس عن النبى ما قال: يعق عنه من الإبل والبقر والغنم
Our master Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), who said: “Aqeeqah should be done for the child from the type of camel, cow, and goat.”
Verification:

◈ واخبرنا أبو سعد الماليني، أنبأ أبو أحمد بن عدي الحافظ، ثنا الحسن بن سفيان، حدثني محمد بن المتوكل، ثنا الوليد بن مسلم عن زهير، ان محمد المكي، عن محمد بن المنكدر، عن جابر، قال: عق رسول الله ما عن الحسن والحسين وختنهما لسبعة أيام
حدثنا محمد بن أحمد بن الوليد البغدادي، نا محمد بن أبى السري العسقلاني، ثنا الوليد بن مسلم نا زهير بن محمد عن ابن عقيل عن محمد بن المنكدر، عن جابر، أن رسول الله عق عن الحسن والحسين، وختنهما لسبعة أيام. لم يقل فى هذا الحديث أحد من الرواة وختنهما لسبعة أيام إلا زهير بن محمد.
◈ وروينا عن زهير بن محمد، عن محمد بن المنكدر، عن جابر رضي الله عنه، قال: عق رسول الله عن الحسن والحسين، وختنهما لسبعة أيام.
◈ حدثنا محمد بن أحمد بن الوليد بن مسلم، حدثنا محمد بن أبى السري العسقلاني، حدثنا الوليد بن مسلم، عن زهير بن محمد، عن محمد بن المنكدر، عن جابر رضى الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عق عن الحسن واكحسين وختنهما لسبعة أيام. لم يروه عن محمد بن المنكدر إلا زهير بن محمد ، ولم يقل أحد ممن روى هذا الحديث . وختنهما لسبعة أيام. إلا الوليد بن مسلم
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) circumcised Al-Hasan and Al-Husayn on the seventh day.
Verification:
All these narrations are weak because the first, second, and fourth narrations include Zuhair bin Muhammad in their chains. When a Syrian narrates from Zuhair, the narration becomes weak.
In all three chains, Walid bin Muslim narrates from Zuhair, and he is Syrian. In the third chain, the chain before Zuhair is unknown.

Our master Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “On the Day of Resurrection, you will be called by your names and your fathers’ names, so keep your names good.”
Verification:
The chain of this narration is weak.
Because it is narrated from Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) by Abdullah bin Abi Zakariya, and the hearing (sama’) between them is not established, meaning Abdullah bin Abi Zakariya did not hear from Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him).
Therefore, this narration is disconnected (munqati’) and disconnected narrations are among the weak types.
Benefit:
However, it is established from authentic hadiths that on the Day of Resurrection, people will be called by their fathers’ names, as mentioned earlier. It is also established from hadiths that good names should be chosen.

Verification:
The chain of this narration is weak. It includes Mujalid bin Saeed, who is a weak narrator.
◈ عن أيوب بن موسي عن أبيه عن جده أن رسول الله قال: ما نحل والد ولده من نحل أفضل من أدب حسن

Verification:
The chain of this narration is weak. It has three defects.
① In its chain, Musa bin Amr bin Saeed is a hidden narrator.
② It includes a narrator named Amir bin Salih bin Rustam, who is weak.
③ This narration is mursal (disconnected) and mursal is among the weak types.
Benefit: This narration has also been reported from Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with both) and Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him). In Tabarani, the narration from Ibn Umar includes Muhammad bin Musa, who is a denier of hadith, and Umar bin Dinar Al-A’war Al-Basri is weak. The narration from Abu Hurairah includes Mahdi bin Hilal, who is a liar.

It is to give charity to your own daughter who has been returned to you (i.e., her husband divorced her or died) and there is no one else to earn for her except you.”
Verification:
The chain of this narration is weak.
Because this narration from Suraqah bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) is narrated by Ali bin Rabi’, and Ali bin Rabi’s hearing from Suraqah is not established. Therefore, the narration is disconnected. As stated by Al-Busiri and others. And disconnected narration is among the weak types.

Verification:
The chain of this narration is weak. It has two defects.
① Ibn Suwayd in the chain is an unknown narrator.
② This narration is narrated from Sayyida Khawlah by Umar bin Abdul Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him), and Umar bin Abdul Aziz’s hearing from Sayyida Khawlah is not established, so the narration is disconnected.

Verification:
The chain of this narration is weak.
This narration has two defects.
① Sa’id bin Abdul Rahman Al-A’shi is an unknown narrator. Except for Ibn Hibban, no one declared him trustworthy.
② There is a discontinuity because Sa’id bin Abdul Rahman Al-A’shi is mentioned by Hafiz Ibn Hajar
in the sixth tier, and narrators of the sixth tier did not meet any companion (according to the introduction of Taqrir), meaning he is not a Tabi’i. Similarly, Ibn Hibban also mentioned this narrator among the followers of the followers (Tabi’ al-Tabi’in). So the conclusion is that he is a Tabi’ al-Tabi’i and narrates from a companion.
◈ عن أبى سعيد الخدري قال: لا يكون لأحدكم ثلاث بنات أو ثلاث أخوات فيحسن إليهن إلا دخل الجنة
Narrated from Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever has three daughters or three sisters and treats them kindly, he will enter Paradise.”

And whoever treats an orphan boy or girl well, I and he will be in Paradise like these two fingers,” and the Prophet (peace be upon him) joined his two fingers, meaning just as these two fingers are together, so will I and the one who treats the orphan well be together in Paradise.”
Verification:

Our master Mu’adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “If a Muslim couple loses three children, Allah will admit them to Paradise out of His immense mercy.” They asked: O Messenger of Allah! Does this apply to two children as well? He said: “It applies to two children as well.” The companions asked: O Messenger of Allah! Does it apply to one child as well? He said: “It applies to one child as well.” Later, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “By the One in Whose hand is my soul! The incomplete child will lead his mother to Paradise by his navel, provided she was patient with him.”

Verification:
The chain of this narration is weak.
① This narration is narrated from Abdullah bin Mas’ud by his son Abu Ubaidah, and their hearing is not established, so the narration is disconnected.

(Also, the Prophet (peace be upon him) addressed the women) and said: “Refrain from satanic lamentation.” Then he said: “The crying that comes from the eye and heart is mercy from Allah, and the crying that involves chest beating and lamentation with the tongue is from Satan.”
Verification:

Narrated from our master Baih (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said: When the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)’s son Ibrahim died, he performed his funeral prayer.
Verification:
The chain of this narration is weak because it is mursal (disconnected). Baih is a Tabi’i, and when a Tabi’i narrates from the Prophet (peace be upon him), such narration is called mursal, which is among the weak types. Baih’s full name is Abu Muhammad Abdullah bin Baymar Mawla Asib bin Zubair.
قال المنذري:
هذا مرسل

Benefit:
The authentic hadith mentioned earlier has passed that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) did not perform the funeral prayer of Ibrahim.
