(قلت: إسناده صحيح على شرط البخاري، وصححه الترمذي وابن الجارود والحاكم والذهبي وعبد الحق الإشبيلي، وليس عندهم: "ويدمى"، فكان قتادة ... إلخ، فقوله: "وُيُدَمَّى" شاذ، كما يشير إليه المؤلف عقب
الرواية الآتية، وما بعده موقوف من قول قتادة. وهو منكر عندي؛ لمخالفته للأحاديث الصحيحة، التي منها حديث بريدة الآتي في آخر الباب، ولذلك قال أحمد: "لا يُدَمَّى")

2837. It was reported from Hammām who said: "Qatādah narrated to us, from Al-Hasan, from Samurah, from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, that he said: 'Each boy is in mortgage by his 'Aqīqah, which is sacrificed on the seventh day, his head shaved and bloodied (Yudamma).'"
When Qatādah was asked about the blood, and what to do with it, he said: "When you slaughter the 'Aqīqah take some of its wool, and place it on its veins, then place it in the middle of the head of the infant so that the blood flows on the hair like a thread, and then his (the infants) head is washed and shaved." (Da'if)
Abū Dāwūd said: This is a mistake from Hammām: "Yudamma."
Abū Dāwūd said: Hammām has been opposed (by other narrators) in narrating this word, and it is an error from Hammām. They only said: "Yusamma" (named) but Hammām said: "Yudamma" (bloodied).
Abū Dāwūd said: And this is not adhered too.

Commentary
The fact of the matter is that giving the name to the child on the seventh day of his birth is the Sunnah. To read it as Yudamma (bloodied) would be wrong, as is clear from the next Hadīth.
