وَعَن الحسنِ عَن سَمُرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْغُلَامُ مُرْتَهَنٌ بِعَقِيقَتِهِ تُذْبَحُ عَنْهُ يَوْمَ السَّابِعِ وَيُسَمَّى وَيُحْلَقُ رَأْسُهُ» . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالتِّرْمِذِيُّ وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ وَالنَّسَائِيُّ لَكِنْ فِي رِوَايَتِهِمَا «رَهِينَةٌ» بدل «مرتهنٌ» وَفِي رِوَايَة لِأَحْمَد وَأبي دَاوُد: «وَيُدْمَى» مَكَانَ: «وَيُسَمَّى» وَقَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: «وَيُسَمَّى» أصحُّ

Al-Hasan quoted Samura who reported God’s messenger as saying, "A boy is in pledge for his ‘aqiqa. Sacrifice is made for him on the seventh day, he is given a name and his head is shaved.” Ahmad, Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud and Nasa’i transmitted it, but the last two have “a pledge” for “in pledge.” A version by Ahmad and Abu Dawud has “is smeared with blood” 1 in place of “is given a name.” Abu Dawud says th at “is given a name” is sounder.

Reported by At-Tirmidhi (No. 1522, 1522b). Cited in Mishkat al-Masabih (No. 4153).
