Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو حَازِمٍ الْحَافِظُ أنبأ أَبُو الْفَضْلِ بْنُ خَمِيرَوَيْهِ أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ قَالَ كَانَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ يَقْطَعُ السَّارِقَ مِنَ الْمَفْصِلِ
English Translation
Discussion of the 'aqiqah — the sacrifice for a newborn child. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Every child is held in pledge for his 'aqiqah — it is sacrificed on the seventh day, his head is shaved, and he is given a name." Two sheep are sacrificed for a boy and one for a girl. The 'aqiqah is a sunnah practice that celebrates the birth of a child and expresses gratitude to Allah.
