English translation
2842. It was reported from Dāwud bin Qais, from 'Amr bin Shu'aib that the Prophet ﷺ said — (another chain) from Dāwud from 'Amr bin Shu'aib from his father — I think it is from his grandfather — who said: "The Prophet ﷺ was asked about the 'Aqīqah? He replied: 'Allāh does not like Al-'Uqūq' — as if he did not like the name. And he said: 'If a child is born to anyone of you, and he likes to sacrifice for him, then let him sacrifice two sheep that are Mukāfi'atān (comparable) for a boy, and one sheep for a girl.' And he was asked about Al-Fara? He replied: 'Al-Fara' is Haqq,[1] if you leave it to grow until it becomes a healthy strong Ibn Makhād or Ibn Labūn, then you give it to a widow, or to be ridden in the cause of Allāh, this is better than you slaughtering it at the age when the meat is stuck to its fur, and you turn over your milking vessel and irritate your she-camel.'" (Hasan)
