عَن سلمانَ بن عامرٍ الضَّبي
قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «مَعَ الْغُلَامِ عَقِيقَةٌ فَأَهْرِيقُوا عَنْهُ دَمًا وأمِيطوا عَنهُ الْأَذَى»
Salman ibn Amir ad Dabbl told that he heard God’s messenger say, “Along with a boy there is an ‘aqiqa, so shed blood on his behalf and remove injury from him.’* *This is variously explained as shaving the hair of the infant, or removing the impurities with which it is defiled at birth, or even circumcision.”
