Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْخَلاَّلُ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدَبٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَحْوَهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ يَسْتَحِبُّونَ أَنْ يُذْبَحَ عَنِ الْغُلاَمِ الْعَقِيقَةُ يَوْمَ السَّابِعِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَتَهَيَّأْ يَوْمَ السَّابِعِ فَيَوْمَ الرَّابِعِ عَشَرَ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَتَهَيَّأْ عُقَّ عَنْهُ يَوْمَ حَادٍ وَعِشْرِينَ وَقَالُوا لاَ يُجْزِئُ فِي الْعَقِيقَةِ مِنَ الشَّاةِ إِلاَّ مَا يُجْزِئُ فِي الأُضْحِيَةِ ‏.‏

Al-Hasan ibn Ali al-Khallal narrated to us: Yazid ibn Harun narrated to us; Said ibn Abi Arubah informed us, from Qatadah, from al-Hasan, from Samurah ibn Jundub, from the Prophet (ﷺ), with a similar report. Abu Isa said: This hadith is hasan sahih. The people of knowledge recommend that the aqiqah for a boy be slaughtered on the seventh day. If that is not possible on the seventh day, then on the fourteenth; if that is not possible, then the aqiqah should be offered on the twenty-first day. They said that for the aqiqah, a sheep must meet the same requirements as one that suffices for the udhiyah.
