أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ السَّيَّارِيُّ ثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ أَنْبَأَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ ثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ ثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

«كُنَّا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ إِذَا وُلِدَ لَنَا غُلَامٌ ذَبَحْنَا عَنْهُ شَاةً وَحَلَقْنَا رَأْسَهُ وَلَطَّخْنَا رَأْسَهُ بِدَمِهَا فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْإِسْلَامُ كُنَّا إِذَا وُلِدَ لَنَا غُلَامٌ ذَبَحْنَا عَنْهُ شَاةً وَحَلَقْنَا رَأْسَهُ وَلَطَّخْنَا رَأْسَهُ بِزَعْفَرَانٍ»
