2838. It was reported from Sa'eed, from Qatādah, from Al-Ḥasan, from Samurah bin Jundab that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Each boy is mortgaged by his 'Aqīqah, which is sacrificed on the seventh day, his head is shaved and he is named." (Saḥīh)
Abū Dāwūd said: And 'Yusamma' (named) is more correct. This is how it was said by Sallām bin Abī Muṭī from Qatādah, and Iyās Ibn Dagfal, and Ash'ath, from Al-Ḥasan, that he said: "And Yusamma." And Ash'ath narrated it from Al-Ḥasan, from the Prophet ﷺ, that he said: "And Yusamma."

Commentary
Al-Khaṭṭābī said: "Aḥmad said: 'This is regarding intercession' meaning, if there was no 'Aqīqah for him and the child dies, he will not intercede for his parents." It has also been suggested that the expression 'mortgaged' has been used to emphasize the necessity and the obligatory nature of the 'Aqīqah.
