Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ " كُلُّ غُلاَمٍ مُرْتَهَنٌ بِعَقِيقَتِهِ تُذْبَحُ عَنْهُ يَوْمَ السَّابِعِ وَيُحْلَقُ رَأْسُهُ وَيُسَمَّى " .
Translation
Hishām ibn ʿAmmār narrated to us: Shuʿayb ibn Isḥāq narrated to us: Saʿīd ibn Abī ʿArūbah narrated to us, from Qatādah, from al-Ḥasan, from Samurah, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: Every boy is held in pledge for his ʿaqīqah; it is slaughtered on his behalf on the seventh day, his head is shaved, and he is given a name.
