Chapter 17 | On the Seventh Day from Birth the Newborn’s Head is Shaved and a Name is Given to Him
الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ حَفْصٍ الْكُنَاسِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ الصَّبِيُّ إِذَا وُلِدَ عُقَّ عَنْهُ وَ حُلِقَ رَأْسُهُ يُتَصَدَّقُ بِوَزْنِ الشَّعْرِ وَ أُهْدِيَ إِلَى الْقَابِلَةِ الرِّجْلُ مَعَ الْوَرِكِ وَ يُدْعَى نَفَرٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَيَأْكُلُونَ وَ يَدْعُونَ لِلْغُلَامِ وَ يُسَمَّى يَوْمَ السَّابِعِ .
12. Al-Husayn from Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla’ ibn Muhammad from al-Washsha’ from Aban from Hafs al-Kunasiy who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah , has stated this Hadith. ‘When ‘Aqiqah is offered for a child, his head is shaved, equal to the weight of his hair charity is given, one leg and hip is given to al-Qabilah (the special nurse, doctor), Muslims should be invited and when they are served they should pray for the boy. A name can be given to the child on the seventh day of his birth.’”
