Sunan Abi Dawud 2838 (Book 16, Hadith 51) #23128
The Rituals of Aqiqah

SUMMARY: A boy should be given an Aqiqah, a sacrifice should be made for him on the seventh day, his head should be shaved and he should be given a name.

Narrated Samurah ibn Jundub: The Prophet said: A boy is in pledge for his Aqiqah, Sacrifice is made for him on the seventh day, his head is shaved and he is given name. Abu Dawud said: The word wa yusamma is sounder as narrated by Salam b. Abi Muti' from Qatadah, and narrated by Iyas b. Daghfal and Ash'ath from al-Hassan who narrated wa yusamma (and he is given a name).
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ كُلُّ غُلاَمٍ رَهِينَةٌ بِعَقِيقَتِهِ تُذْبَحُ عَنْهُ يَوْمَ سَابِعِهِ وَيُحْلَقُ وَيُسَمَّى ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَيُسَمَّى أَصَحُّ كَذَا قَالَ سَلاَّمُ بْنُ أَبِي مُطِيعٍ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ وَإِيَاسُ بْنُ دَغْفَلٍ وَأَشْعَثُ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ وَيُسَمَّى ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَرَوَاهُ أَشْعَثُ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏"‏ وَيُسَمَّى

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith talks about the rituals of Aqiqah which is a tradition in Islam. It states that when a baby boy is born, an animal such as sheep or goat should be sacrificed on the seventh day after his birth and his head should also be shaved. After this ritual, he will then receive his name. This tradition has been practiced since the time of Prophet Muhammad and it serves to thank Allah for blessing us with children and to celebrate their birth. It also teaches us to show gratitude towards Allah for all His blessings by sacrificing something valuable in return. Furthermore, it teaches us to give our children meaningful names that are pleasing to Allah so they can grow up with good character traits and values that will help them become successful in life later on in life.
