وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ أَبِي رَوَّادٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ، قَالَتْ:

يُعَقُّ عَنِ الْغُلَامِ شَاتَانِ مُكَافِئَتَانِ وَعَنِ الْجَارِيَةِ شَاةٌ. قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ ؓ: فَعَقَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ وَالْحُسَيْنِ ؓ شَاتَيْنِ شَاتَيْنِ يَوْمَ السَّابِعِ، وَأَمَرَ أَنْ يُمَاطَ عَنْ رَأْسِهِ الْأَذَى وَقَالَ: اذْبَحُوا عَلَى اسْمِ اللهِ وَقُولُوا: بِاسْمِ اللهِ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ، اللَّهُمَّ مِنْكَ وَلَكَ هَذِهِ عَقِيقَةُ فُلَانٍ. قَالَتْ: وَكَانُوا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ تُؤْخَذُ قُطْنَةٌ فَتُجْعَلُ فِي دَمِ الْعَقِيقَةِ ثُمَّ تُوضَعُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُجْعَلَ مَكَانَ الدَّمِ خَلُوقًا

✧ For a boy, two sheep of equal age are slaughtered as aqiqah, and for a girl, one sheep. Aisha ؓ said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ slaughtered two sheep for al-Hasan and two for al-Husayn ؓ on the seventh day, and he ordered that the filth be removed from his head, and he said: 'Slaughter in the name of Allah, and say: In the name of Allah, and Allah is most great. O Allah, from You and to You, this is the aqiqah of so-and-so.' She said: In the Jahiliyyah, they would take a piece of cotton, dip it in the blood of the aqiqah, and place it on his head. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered that khaluq be put in place of the blood.

    حدثت عن يحيى هو الصحيح فإن ابن جريج لم يسمعه من يحيى
