Sunan Ibn Majah 3165 (Book 27, Hadith 4) #32519
The Significance of 'Aqiqah for Newborn Boys

SUMMARY: Every newborn boy should be given an 'Aqiqah on the seventh day of his birth and his head should be shaved.

It was narrated from Samurah that the Prophet said: "Every boy is mortgaged by his 'Aqiqah, so slaughter for him on the seventh day, and shave his head, and name him".
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ ـ قَالَ ‏ "‏ كُلُّ غُلاَمٍ مُرْتَهَنٌ بِعَقِيقَتِهِ تُذْبَحُ عَنْهُ يَوْمَ السَّابِعِ وَيُحْلَقُ رَأْسُهُ وَيُسَمَّى
