Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ الْفَرَّاءُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ الْعَقِيقَةِ فَقَالَ لَا أُحِبُّ الْعُقُوقَ وَمَنْ وُلِدَ لَهُ مَوْلُودٌ فَأَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْسُكَ عَنْهُ فَلْيَفْعَلْ عَنْ الْغُلَامِ شَاتَانِ مُكَافَأَتَانِ وَعَنْ الْجَارِيَةِ شَاةٌ.
English Translation
Waki' narrated to us: Dawud ibn Qays al-Farra' narrated from Amr ibn Shu'ayb from his father from his grandfather who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was asked about the aqiqah. He said: "I do not like disobedience (uquq). Whoever has a child born to him and wishes to sacrifice on his behalf, let him do so - for a boy, two equivalent sheep, and for a girl, one sheep."
