Arabic text

3164 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ سَلْمَانَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ مَعَ الْغُلَامِ عَقِيقَةً، فَأَهْرِيقُوا عَنْهُ دَمًا، وَأَمِيطُوا عَنْهُ الْأَذَى»

Commentary

The hair that exist at the time of birth is also called 'Aqiqah. The animal that is sacrificed from a newborn child is also called 'Aqiqah. Blood shedding here means slaughtering an animal. 'Remove the harm' means shaving the head. The ruling is common for a baby boy and baby girl.
