اخْتِنُوا أَوْلَادَكُمْ لِسَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ فَإِنَّهُ أَطْهَرُ وَ أَسْرَعُ لِنَبَاتِ اللَّحْمِ وَ إِنَّ الْأَرْضَ لَتَكْرَهُ بَوْلَ الْأَغْلَفِ وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّ ثَقْبَ أُذُنِ الْغُلَامِ مِنَ السُّنَّةِ وَ خِتَانَهُ لِسَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنَ السُّنَّةِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from haroun Bin Muslim, from Mas’ada Bin Sadaqa, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Circumcise your children within seven days, for it purifies and (makes it) easier for the growth of the flesh, and the earth dislikes the urine of the uncircumcised’. And by this chain, said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The piercing (of the hole) in the ear of the boy is from the Sunnah, and his circumcision within seven days is from the Sunnah’.
