سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَذْكُرُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص عَقَّ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ع بِكَبْشٍ وَ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع 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.
English translationMuhammad Sarwar
3. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from ‘Asim al-Kuzi who has said the following: “I once heard Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), narrating from his father that the Messenger of Allah (saww) offered ‘Aqiqah for al-Hassan (a.s.). It was a ram and one ram for al-Husayn (a.s.). He (the Messenger of Allah) gave something to al-Qabilah (the special nurse), shaved their heads on the seventh day, weighed their hairs and equal to its weight gave in charity.’ He (the narrator) has said, ‘I asked him (the Imam), ‘Is blood taken to stain the head of the child?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘That is shirk (considering things partners of Allah), a practice of pagans.’ I then said, ‘Allah is free of all defects. Is it shirk?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If it is not shirk it certainly was a practice in the time of ignorance and Islam has prohibited it.’”
