حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏

"‏ الْغُلاَمُ مُرْتَهَنٌ بِعَقِيقَتِهِ يُذْبَحُ عَنْهُ يَوْمَ السَّابِعِ وَيُسَمَّى وَيُحْلَقُ رَأْسُهُ ‏"

Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A child is held in pledge for his ‘Aqīqah which should be slaughtered on his behalf on the seventh day after his birth, and he should be given a name, and his head should be shaved."

Reported by At-Tirmidhi (No. 1522, 1522b).

Explanation

In this Hadīth, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) says that a newborn is in pledge for his ‘Aqīqah that is to be slaughtered on his behalf on the seventh day after his birth. It is recommended to name him on the same day and to shave his head. Shaving is for males only.

Explanation in Arabic

في هذا الحديث يخبر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أن المولود يكون محبوساً بعقيقته تذبح عنه في اليوم السابع من ولادته، ويُستحب في نفس اليوم تسمية المولود، وحلق شعر رأسه، والحلق خاص بالمولود الذكر.

أن قوله "مرتهن بعقيقته" يدل على تأكيد هذه الشعيرة، وأنَّه لا ينبغي إهمالها، فمن أحياها، فقد أحيا سنَّة أمر بها النَّبي -صلى الله عليه وسلم-، وعمل بها.
معنى ارتهان الغلام بعقيقته أنها لازمة لزوم الرهن في يد المرتهن.
أن وقت ذبح العقيقة هو اليوم السابع استحبابًا لا وجوبًا.
أن تسمية المولود تكون في اليوم السابع.
مشروعية حلق رأس المولود في اليوم السابع.
