سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَذْكُرُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) عَقَّ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) بِكَبْشٍ وَ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ( عليه السلام ) بِكَبْشٍ وَ أَعْطَى الْقَابِلَةَ شَيْئاً وَ حَلَقَ رُءُوسَهُمَا يَوْمَ سَابِعِهِمَا وَ وَزَنَ شَعْرَهُمَا فَتَصَدَّقَ بِوَزْنِهِ فِضَّةً قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يُؤْخَذُ الدَّمُ فَيُلَطَّخُ بِهِ رَأْسُ الصَّبِيِّ فَقَالَ ذَاكَ شِرْكٌ فَقُلْتُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ شِرْكٌ فَقَالَ لَوْ لَمْ يَكُنْ ذَاكَ شِرْكاً فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يُعْمَلُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَ نُهِيَ عَنْهُ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Aasim Al Kowzy who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> mentioning from his<sup>asws</sup> father<sup>asws</sup> that Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> performed <span class="iTxt">Aqeeqa</span> for Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> with a ram, and from Al-Husayn<sup>asws</sup> with a ram, and gave something to the mid-wife, and shaved off both their<sup>asws</sup> heads on the seventh day for both of them<sup>asws</sup>, and weighed both their<sup>asws</sup> hairs, so he<sup>saww</sup> gave silver in charity by its weight’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘He should take the blood and stain by it the head of the child?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘That is ‘Shirk’ association’. So I said, ‘Glory be to Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, association (<span class="iTxt">Shirk</span>)!’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If that does not happen to be association (<span class="iTxt">Shirk</span>), so it was being done in the Pre-Islamic period and it has been Forbidden from, in Al-Islam’.
