مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ إِدْرِيسَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ مَوْلُودٍ يُولَدُ فَيَمُوتُ يَوْمَ السَّابِعِ هَلْ يُعَقُّ عَنْهُ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ مَاتَ قَبْلَ الظُّهْرِ لَمْ يُعَقَّ عَنْهُ وَ إِنْ مَاتَ بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ عُقَّ عَنْهُ .

1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Muhammad ibn Khalid from Sa‘d ibn Sa‘d from Idris ibn ‘ Abd Allah who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah , about the case of a child who dies on the seventh day: if ‘Aqiqah is still necessary. He (the Imam) said, ‘If he dies before al-Zuhr ‘Aqiqah is not required; but if he dies after al-Zuhr then ‘Aqiqah is required.”’
