4217. It was narrated from 'Amr bin Shu'aib, from his father, that his grandfather said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was asked about the 'Aqīqah and he said: 'Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime, does not like Al-'Uqūq' - as if he disliked the word (Al-'Aqīqah). He said to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ: 'But one of us may offer a sacrifice when a child is born to him.' He said: 'Whoever wants to offer a sacrifice for his child, let him do so, for a boy; two sheep, Mukāfa'atān, (of equal age), and for a girl, one.' (One of the narrators) Dāwūd said: 'I asked Zaid bin Aslam about the word Mukāfa'atān and he said: 'Two similar sheep that are slaughtered together.'" (Hasan)

4212 - أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ: سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْعَقِيقَةِ فَقَالَ: «لَا يُحِبُّ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الْعُقُوقَ»، وَكَأَنَّهُ كَرِهَ الِاسْمَ، قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِنَّمَا نَسْأَلُكَ أَحَدُنَا يُولَدُ لَهُ، قَالَ: «مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْسُكَ عَنْ وَلَدِهِ، فَلْيَنْسُكْ عَنْهُ عَنِ الْغُلَامِ شَاتَانِ مُكَافَأَتَانِ، وَعَنِ الْجَارِيَةِ شَاةٌ» قَالَ دَاوُدُ سَأَلْتُ زَيْدَ بْنَ أَسْلَمَ عَنِ الْمُكَافَأَتَانِ قَالَ: «الشَّاتَانِ الْمُشَبَّهَتَانِ تُذْبَحَانِ جَمِيعًا»
