Volume 7, Book 66, Number 380:
Narrated Salman bin 'Amir Ad-Dabbi:
I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "'Aqiqa is to be offered for a (newly born) boy, so slaughter (an an –
imal) for him, and relieve him of his suffering." (Note: It has been quoted in Fateh-AL-Bari that the
majority of the Religious Scholars agrees to the Hadith narrated in Sahih At-TlRMlZY that the
Prophet was asked about Aqiqa and he ordered 2 sheep for a boy and one sheep for a girl and that is
his tradition "SUNNA".)
