5472. Narrated Salman bin 'Amir Ad-Dabbi: I heard Allāh's Messenger ﷺ saying, " 'Aqiqa is to be offered for a (newly born) boy, so slaughter (an animal) for him, and relieve him of his suffering." [Note: It has been quoted in Fath Al-Bārī that the majority of the religious scholars agrees to the Hadīth reported in Ṣaḥīḥ At-Tirmidhī that the Prophet ﷺ was asked about 'Aqiqa and he ordered two sheep for a boy and one sheep for a girl and that is his Sunna (legal way of 'Aqiqa). Narrated Habib bin Ash-Shahid: Ibn Sirin told me to ... Hasan from whom he had heard the narration of Al-Aqiqa. I asked him and he said, "From Samura bin Jundab."
