Sahih al-Bukhari Sacrifice on Occasion of Birth (`Aqiqa) Salman bin Rabee'ah 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.” https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-al-bukhari-5260/
