Arabic (Original)
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 عَنْ الْعَقِيقَةِ فَقَالَ لَا أُحِبُّ الْعُقُوقَ وَلَكِنْ مَنْ وُلِدَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ فَأَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْسُكَ عَلَيْهِ أَوْ عَنْهُ فَلْيَفْعَلْ.
English Translation
It was narrated, through a man of Banu Damrah, from a man of his people: he said, "I asked the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, about the aqiqah [birth sacrifice], and he said, 'I do not like disobedience, but whoever has a child born to him and wishes to offer a sacrifice for him, or on his behalf, let him do so.'"
