The Sufficient (Vol 6) · Hadith 106 (#Ḥadīth #4)

وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ السَّابِعِ وَ قَدْ وُلِدَ لِأَحَدِكُمْ غُلَامٌ أَوْ جَارِيَةٌ فَلْيَعُقَّ عَنْهُ كَبْشاً عَنِ الذَّكَرِ ذَكَراً وَ عَنِ الْأُنْثَى مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ عُقُّوا عَنْهُ وَ أَطْعِمُوا الْقَابِلَةَ مِنَ الْعَقِيقَةِ وَ سَمُّوهُ يَوْمَ السَّابِعِ .

4. It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from a man from abu Ja‘far , who has said the following: “When it is the seventh day of childbirth in your home, a boy or a girl you must offer an Aqiqah in the form of slaughtering a ram for a boy and an ewe for a girl. When you offer an Aqiqah for him, feed al-Qabilah (the special nurse, doctor) thereof. You can give the child a name on the seventh day.’”
