Muwatta Malik #1117
The 'Aqiqa
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، مِنْ بَنِي ضَمْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنِ الْعَقِيقَةِ فَقَالَ " لاَ أُحِبُّ الْعُقُوقَ " . وَكَأَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا كَرِهَ الاِسْمَ وَقَالَ " مَنْ وُلِدَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ فَأَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْسُكَ عَنْ وَلَدِهِ فَلْيَفْعَلْ " .
Yahya related to me from Zayd ibn Aslam from a man of the Banu
Damra that his father said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, was asked about the Aqiqa. He said, 'I do not
like disobedience (uquq),' as if he disliked the name. He said, 'If
anyone has a child born to him, and wants to sacrifice for his child,
then let him do it.' "
