## Hadith #5260

**Book:** Sacrifice on Occasion of Birth (`Aqiqa) | **Narrator(s):** Salman bin Rabee'ah | **Grade:** Sahih

I heard Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) saying, “‘Aqiqa is to be offered for a (newly born) boy, so slaughter (an animal) for him, and relieve him of his suffering.”
Narrated Habib bin Ash-Shahid:
Ibn Seereen told me to ask Al-Hassan from whom he had heard the narration of ‘Aqiqa. I asked him and he said, “From Samura bin Jundab.”
