أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي دَاوُدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ
سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْعَقِيقَةِ قَالَ «لَا يُحِبُّ اللهُ الْعُقُوقَ» كَأَنَّهُ كَرِهَ الِاسْمَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّمَا نَسْأَلُكَ عَنْ أَحَدِنَا يُولَدُ لَهُ قَالَ «مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْسُكَ عَنْ وَلَدِهِ فَلْيَنْسُكْ عَنْهُ عَنِ الْغُلَامِ شَاتَانِ مُكَافِأَتَانِ وَعَنِ الْجَارِيَةِ شَاةٌ» قَالَ دَاوُدُ سَأَلْتُ زَيْدَ بْنَ أَسْلَمَ عَنِ الْمُكَافِأَتَانِ قَالَ الشَّاتَانِ الْمُشْتَبِهَتَانِ تُذْبَحَانِ جَمِيعًا

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about the ʿaqīqah. He said: "Allah does not love ʿuqūq (disobedience to parents)." It was as if he disliked the name. They said: "O Messenger of Allah, we are only asking you about one of us who has a child born to him." He said: "Whoever wishes to offer a sacrifice on behalf of his child, let him do so: for a boy, two sheep of similar age and quality, and for a girl, one sheep." Dawud said: I asked Zayd b. Aslam about al-mukāfiʼatān. He said: "Two sheep that are similar to each other and are slaughtered together."
