Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَوْ عَنْ عَمِّهِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ شَهِدْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِعَرَفَةَ فَسُئِلَ عَنْ الْعَقِيقَةِ فَقَالَ لَا أُحِبُّ الْعُقُوقَ وَلَكِنْ مَنْ وُلِدَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ فَأَحَبَّ أَنَّ يَنْسُكَ عَنْهُ فَلْيَفْعَلْ.
English Translation
It was narrated, through a man from his father or his uncle: he said, "I witnessed the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, at Arafah, and he was asked about the aqiqah, and he said, 'I do not like disobedience, but whoever has a child born to him and wishes to offer a sacrifice on his behalf, let him do so.'"
