Al-Kafi 10514

Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al Husayn Bin Khalid who said, ‘I asked Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza^asws about the congratulations with the birth, when (should it be done)?’ So he said, ‘He^asws said: ‘Upon the ‘Nazool’ (appearance) from Heavens) of Al-Hassan Bin Ali^asws, Jibraeel^as descended with the congratulations upon the Prophet^saww during the seventh day, and instructed him^saww that he^saww should name him^asws, and teknonym him^asws, and shave off his^asws head, and perform <span class="iTxt">Aqeeqa</span> for him^asws, and pierce hole in his^asws ear’.  And similar to that was when Al-Husayn^asws‘s Nazool. He (Jibraeel^as) came to him^saww during the seventh day. So he^as instructed him^asws with similar to that’. He^asws said: ‘And for both of them^asws were to forelocks in the top right, and the hole in the right ear was in the lobe of the ear, and in the left, it was in the upper part of the ear. So the ear-ring (الْقُرْطُ) was in the right, and the ear-ring (الشَّنْفُ) in the left’. And it has been reported that the Prophet^saww left for both of them^asws, two forelocks in the middle of the head, and it is more correct than the top’.
