أَخْبَرَنَا عَفَّانُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ

أَنّ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «كُلُّ غُلَامٍ رَهِينَةٌ بِعَقِيقَتِهِ يُذْبَحُ عَنْهُ يَوْمَ سَابِعِهِ، وَيُحْلَقُ وَيُدَمَّى». وَكَانَ قَتَادَةُ يَصِفُ الدَّمَ، فَيَقُولُ: إِذَا ذُبِحَتْ الْعَقِيقَةُ، تُؤْخَذُ صُوفَةٌ فَيُسْتَقْبَلُ بِهَا أَوْدَاجُ الذَّبِيحَةِ، ثُمَّ يُوضَعُ عَلَى يَافُوخِ الصَّبِيِّ حَتَّى إِذَا سَالَ شَبَهُ الْخَيْطِ، غُسِلَ رَأْسُهُ، ثُمَّ حُلِقَ بَعْدُ حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ، بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ، قَالَ: وَيُسَمَّى. قَالَ عَبْد اللَّهِ: وَلَا أُرَاهُ وَاجِبًا

What it means

In this Hadīth, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) says that a newborn is in pledge for his ‘Aqīqah that is to be slaughtered on his behalf on the seventh day after his birth. It is recommended to name him on the same day and to shave his head. Shaving is for males only.
