EXPLANATIONS:
According to the hadith narrated by 'Aishah, the Prophet Muhammad commanded that two sheep should be sacrificed for a boy's 'Aqiqah and one sheep for a girl. This is an obligation in Islam which is done to celebrate the birth of a child. It is also seen as an act of charity as it involves giving away something valuable to those who are less fortunate than us. The purpose of this act is to thank Allah and seek His blessings upon the newborn child. It also serves as an opportunity to share our joy with others by providing them with food or money from the sale of these animals.

The values taught in this hadith include charity, gratitude towards Allah, and sharing our joy with others through acts of kindness. It also teaches us about being mindful of our obligations towards Allah and fulfilling them even when it comes to small matters such as sacrificing animals on special occasions like birthdays or other celebrations.
