to prayer (adhan) in the ear of al-Hasan ibn 'Ali (may Allah be
pleased with him) when Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her)
gave birth to him". (Abu Dawud)
Aqiqa
Umm Kurz (may Allah be pleased with her) said that she heard Prophet
Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him)
say, "Two sheep are to be sacrificed for a boy and one for a girl, but
it does you no harm whether they (the sheep) are male or female". (Tirmidhi and Nasai)
Imam Al-Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) quoted Hadrat Samura, (may Allah be pleased with him) who reported Prophet Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) as saying, "A boy is in pledge for his aqiqa. Sacrifice is made for him on the seventh day, he is given a name and his head is shaved". (Ahmad, Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud and Nasai)
Give Good Names
Hadrat Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) reported Prophet
Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) as saying,
"On the Day of Resurrection, you will be called by your names and
your father's names, so give yourselves good names".
(Ahmad and Abu Dawud)
Put something sweet in the mouth of the baby
Narrated Hadrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him), "I got a son
and I took him to Prophet Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon
him) who named him Ibrahim, and put in his mouth the juice of a date
fruit (which he himself had chewed), and invoked a blessing upon him,
? and then gave him back to me". He was the eldest son of
Hadrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him). (al-Bukhari)
Circumcision
Narrated Hadrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that Prophet
Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) said, "Five
practices are characteristic of the Fitra: circumcision, shaving the pubic
region, shaving the arm-pits, clipping the nails and cutting the
moustaches short". (al-Bukhari)
