قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) حَدِّثْنِي عَنِ الْعَقِيقِ أَ وَقْتٌ وَقَّتَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَوْ شَيْءٌ صَنَعَهُ النَّاسُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَقَّتَ لِأَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ ذَا الْحُلَيْفَةِ وَ وَقَّتَ لِأَهْلِ الْمَغْرِبِ الْجُحْفَةَ وَ هِيَ عِنْدَنَا مَكْتُوبَةٌ مَهْيَعَةُ وَ وَقَّتَ لِأَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ يَلَمْلَمَ وَ وَقَّتَ لِأَهْلِ الطَّائِفِ قَرْنَ الْمَنَازِلِ وَ وَقَّتَ لِأَهْلِ نَجْدٍ الْعَقِيقَ وَ مَا أَنْجَدَتْ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Dawood Al numan, from Abu Ayoub Al Khazzaz who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘Narrated to me about Al-Aqeeq, is it a juncture which Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> designated, or is it something which the people made up?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> designated a juncture for the people of Al-Medina, being Zul Huleyfa; and a juncture for the people of Al-Maghrib (north Africa), being Al-Juhfa, and it is written with us as Mahiya; and a juncture for the people of Al-Yemem, being Yalamlam; and a juncture for the people of Al-Taif, being Qaran Al-Manazal; and a juncture of the people of Najd, being Al-Aqeeq, and it is not made up’.
