Hadith.4716 - Abu Talib (as), may Allah (swt) have mercy on him, performed the Aqiqah for the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) on the seventh day after his birth. He invited the family of Abu Talib, and when they asked: "What is this?" Abu Talib (as) replied: "This is the Aqiqah of Ahmad (sw)." They asked: "Why did you name him Ahmad (sw)?" Abu Talib (as) said: "I named him Ahmad (sw) because of the praise (maḥmadah) He (sw) receives from the inhabitants of the heavens and the earth."

4717 - وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ عَمَّارٍ اَلسَّابَاطِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "إِنْ كَانَتِ اَلْقَابِلَةُ يَهُودِيَّةً لاَ تَأْكُلُ مِنْ ذَبِيحَةِ اَلْمُسْلِمِينَ أُعْطِيَتْ رُبُعَ قِيمَةِ اَلْكَبْشِ يُشْتَرَى ذَلِكَ مِنْهَا ".

Hadith.4717 - In the narration of Ammar Al-Sabati from Abu Abdullah (as), that he said: "If the midwife (qabilah) is a Jewess who does not eat the meat of an animal slaughtered by Muslims, she should be given one-fourth of the value of the ram, and it is purchased from her with that."

4718 - وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ عَمَّارٍ أَيْضاً: "أَنَّهُ يُعْطِي اَلْقَابِلَةَ رُبُعَهَا فَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ قَابِلَةٌ فَلِأُمِّهِ تُعْطِيهَا مَنْ شَاءَتْ وَ تُطْعِمُ مِنْهَا عَشَرَةً مِنَ اَلْمُسْلِمِينَ فَإِنْ زَادَ فَهُوَ أَفْضَلُ".

Hadith.4718 - In another narration from Ammar, it is reported: "A quarter of the Aqiqah should be given to the midwife. If there is no midwife, then the child's mother may give it to whomever she wishes. She should also feed ten Muslims from it, and if she feeds more, it is even better."

4719 - وَ رُوِيَ: "أَنَّ أَفْضَلَ مَا يُطْبَخُ بِهِ مَاءٌ وَ مِلْحٌ".

Hadith.4719 - It is narrated: "The best way to cook the Aqiqah meat is with water and salt."

4720 - قَالَ عَمَّارٌ اَلسَّابَاطِيُّ : وَ سُئِلَ عَنِ اَلْعَقِيقَةِ إِذَا ذُبِحَتْ هَلْ يُكْسَرُ عَظْمُهَا قَالَ "نَعَمْ يُكْسَرُ عَظْمُهَا وَ يُقَطَّعُ لَحْمُهَا وَ تَصْنَعُ بِهَا بَعْدَ اَلذَّبْحِ مَا شِئْتَ".

Hadith.4720 - Ammar Al-Sabati reported that Imam (as) was asked about the Aqiqah about when it is slaughtered, should its bones be broken? He (as) replied: "Yes, its bones should be broken, and its meat should be cut up. After the slaughter, you may do with it as you wish."

4721 - وَ سَأَلَ إِدْرِيسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ اَلْقُمِّيُّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : عَنْ مَوْلُودٍ يُولَدُ فَيَمُوتُ يَوْمَ اَلسَّابِعِ هَلْ يُعَقُّ عَنْهُ قَالَ "إِنْ كَانَ مَاتَ قَبْلَ اَلظُّهْرِ لَمْ يُعَقَّ عَنْهُ وَ إِنْ كَانَ مَاتَ بَعْدَ اَلظُّهْرِ عُقَّ عَنْهُ".

Hadith.4721 - Idris ibn Abdullah Al-Qummi asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a newborn who is born and dies on the seventh day. Should the Aqiqah be performed for him? Imam (as) replied: "If he dies before noon, the Aqiqah is not performed for him. But if he dies after noon, the Aqiqah should be performed for him."

4722 - وَ رَوَى عَمَّارٌ اَلسَّابَاطِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَذْبَحَ اَلْعَقِيقَةَ قُلْتَ "يٰا قَوْمِ إِنِّي بَرِيءٌ مِمّٰا تُشْرِكُونَ إِنِّي وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِيَ لِلَّذِي فَطَرَ اَلسَّمٰاوٰاتِ وَ اَلْأَرْضَ حَنِيفاً" مُسْلِماً "وَ مٰا أَنَا مِنَ اَلْمُشْرِكِينَ " "إِنَّ صَلاٰتِي وَ نُسُكِي وَ مَحْيٰايَ وَ مَمٰاتِي لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ اَلْعٰالَمِينَ لاٰ شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ بِذٰلِكَ أُمِرْتُ" وَ أَنَا مِنَ اَلْمُسْلِمِينَ اَللَّهُمَّ مِنْكَ وَ لَكَ بِسْمِ اَللَّهِ وَ اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اَللَّهُمَّ تَقَبَّلْ مِنْ فُلاَنِ بْنِ فُلاَنٍ وَ تُسَمِّي اَلْمَوْلُودَ بِاسْمِهِ ثُمَّ تَذْبَحُ".

Hadith.4722 - Ammar Al-Sabati narrated from Abu Abdullah (as) who said: "When you intend to slaughter the Aqiqah, say: 'O my people, I am free from what you associate with Allah (swt). Indeed, I have turned my face toward the One (swt) who created the heavens and the earth, inclining toward truth, and I am not among the polytheists. Indeed, my prayer, my sacrifice, my life, and my death are for Allah (swt), the Lord (azj) of the worlds. He (swt) has no partner, and with this I have been commanded, and I am among the Muslims. O Allah (swt), this is from You (swt) and for You (swt). In the name of Allah (swt) and Allah (swt) is the Greatest. O Allah (swt), accept this from (mention the child's name), son of (mention the father's name).' Then you proceed with the slaughter."

4723 - وَ فِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "يُقَالُ عِنْدَ اَلْعَقِيقَةِ اَللَّهُمَّ مِنْكَ وَ لَكَ مَا وَهَبْتَ وَ أَنْتَ أَعْطَيْتَ اَللَّهُمَّ فَتَقَبَّلْهُ مِنَّا عَلَى سُنَّةِ نَبِيِّكَ وَ تَسْتَعِيذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ اَلشَّيْطَانِ اَلرَّجِيمِ وَ تُسَمِّي وَ تَذْبَحُ وَ تَقُولُ لَكَ سَفَكْتُ اَلدِّمَاءَ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَكَ "وَ اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ اَلْعٰالَمِينَ" اَللَّهُمَّ اِخْسَأْ عَنَّا اَلشَّيْطَانَ اَلرَّجِيمَ ". وَ أَمَّا الْخِتَانُ فَإِنَّهُ سُنَّةٌ فِي الرِّجَالِ وَ مَكْرُمَةٌ فِي النِّسَاءِ.

Hadith.4723 - In another narration from Abu Abdullah (as), he said: "At the time of performing the Aqiqah, say: 'O Allah (swt), this is from You (swt) and for You (swt). It is what You (swt) have granted, and You (swt) are the Giver. O Allah (swt), accept it from us in accordance with the tradition of Your Prophet (sw). I seek refuge in Allah (swt) from the accursed Satan.' Then mention the child's name, slaughter the animal, and say: 'For You (swt), I have shed this blood, with no partner for You (swt). All praise is due to Allah (swt), the Lord (azj) of the worlds. O Allah (swt), drive away from us the accursed Satan.' As for circumcision, it is a Sunnah (recommended practice) for men and an honorable practice (makramah) for women."

4724 - وَ رَوَى غِيَاثُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "لاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ لاَ تَخْتَتِنَ اَلْمَرْأَةُ فَأَمَّا اَلرَّجُلُ فَلاَ بُدَّ مِنْهُ".

Hadith.4724 - Ghiyath ibn Ibrahim narrated from Ja'far ibn Muhammad from his father (as) who said that Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as)said: "There is no harm if a woman is not circumcised, but as for a man, it is necessary for him."

4725 - وَ - كَتَبَ عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ اَلْحِمْيَرِيُّ إِلَى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : أَنَّهُ رُوِيَ عَنِ اَلصَّالِحِينَ عَلَيْهِمُ اَلسَّلاَمُ "أَنِ اِخْتِنُوا أَوْلاَدَكُمْ يَوْمَ اَلسَّابِعِ يَطَّهَّرُوا فَإِنَّ اَلْأَرْضَ تَضِجُّ إِلَى اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنْ بَوْلِ اَلْأَغْلَفِ" وَ لَيْسَ جَعَلَنِيَ اَللَّهُ فِدَاكَ لِحَجَّامِي بَلَدِنَا حِذْقٌ بِذَلِكَ وَ لاَ يَخْتِنُونَهُ يَوْمَ اَلسَّابِعِ وَ عِنْدَنَا حَجَّامٌ مِنَ اَلْيَهُودِ فَهَلْ يَجُوزُ لِلْيَهُودِ أَنْ يَخْتِنُوا أَوْلاَدَ اَلْمُسْلِمِينَ أَمْ لاَ فَوَقَّعَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "يَوْمَ اَلسَّابِعِ فَلاَ تُخَالِفُوا اَلسُّنَنَ إِنْ شَاءَ اَللَّهُ".

Hadith.4725 - Abdullah ibn Ja'far al-Himyari wrote to Imam Abu Muhammad Al-Hasan ibn Ali (as), saying: "It has been narrated from the Righteous Ones (peace be upon them) that they said: 'Circumcise your children on the seventh day so they may be purified, for the earth complains to Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, about the urine of the uncircumcised.' May Allah make me your ransom, but the barbers in our region are not skilled in this, and they do not circumcise on the seventh day. However, we have a barber who is a Jew. Is it permissible for the Jews to circumcise Muslim children or not?" Imam (as) replied: "On the seventh day - do not oppose the Sunnah, God willing."
