Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ عَدِيٍّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَمْرٍو عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ قَالَ فَسَأَلْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ الْحُسَيْنِ فَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ لَمَّا وُلِدَ أَرَادَتْ أُمُّهُ فَاطِمَةُ أَنْ تَعُقَّ عَنْهُ بِكَبْشَيْنِ فَقَالَ لَا تَعُقِّي عَنْهُ وَلَكِنْ احْلِقِي شَعْرَ رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ تَصَدَّقِي بِوَزْنِهِ مِنْ الْوَرِقِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ وُلِدَ حُسَيْنٌ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَصَنَعَتْ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ.
English Translation
Zakariyya ibn Adi narrated to us: Ubaydullah - meaning Ibn Amr - informed me, from Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn Aqil, who said: I asked Ali ibn al-Husayn, and he narrated to me, from Abu Rafi', the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, that when al-Hasan ibn Ali was born, his mother Fatimah wanted to perform the aqiqah for him with two rams, but he said, "Do not perform the aqiqah for him with that, but rather shave the hair of his head, then give in charity its weight in silver in the path of Allah." Then Husayn was born afterward, and she did the like of that.
