Arabic text

3166 - حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ كَاسِبٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ مُوسَى، أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ يَزِيدَ بْنَ عَبْدٍ الْمُزَنِيَّ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «يُعَقُّ عَنِ الْغُلَامِ، وَلَا يُمَسُّ رَأْسُهُ بِدَمٍ»

Commentary

In the pre-Islamic period, sacrifice was observed on behalf of a child, and the head of the child was smeared with blood. Islam left unchanged what was lawful and prevented what was wrong. (See Sahih Ibn Hibbân: 5284)
