Muwatta Malik #1121
The 'Aqiqa
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ التَّيْمِيِّ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَسْتَحِبُّ الْعَقِيقَةَ، وَلَوْ بِعُصْفُورٍ .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Rabia ibn Abi Abd ar-Rahman
that Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn al-Harith at-Taymi said, "I heard my
father say that the aqiqa was desirable, even if it was only a
sparrow."
