حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ النَّمَرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ كُلُّ غُلاَمٍ رَهِينَةٌ بِعَقِيقَتِهِ تُذْبَحُ عَنْهُ يَوْمَ السَّابِعِ وَيُحْلَقُ رَأْسُهُ وَيُدَمَّى ‏"‏ . فَكَانَ قَتَادَةُ إِذَا سُئِلَ عَنِ الدَّمِ كَيْفَ يُصْنَعُ بِهِ قَالَ إِذَا ذَبَحْتَ الْعَقِيقَةَ أَخَذْتَ مِنْهَا صُوفَةً وَاسْتَقْبَلْتَ بِهِ أَوْدَاجَهَا ثُمَّ تُوضَعُ عَلَى يَافُوخِ الصَّبِيِّ حَتَّى يَسِيلَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ مِثْلُ الْخَيْطِ ثُمَّ يُغْسَلُ رَأْسُهُ بَعْدُ وَيُحْلَقُ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَهَذَا وَهَمٌ مِنْ هَمَّامٍ ‏"‏ وَيُدَمَّى ‏"‏ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ خُولِفَ هَمَّامٌ فِي هَذَا الْكَلاَمِ وَهُوَ وَهَمٌ مِنْ هَمَّامٍ وَإِنَّمَا قَالُوا ‏"‏ يُسَمَّى ‏"‏ . فَقَالَ هَمَّامٌ ‏"‏ يُدَمَّى ‏"‏ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَلَيْسَ يُؤْخَذُ بِهَذَا .

Narrator: Samurah ibn Jundub

English translation
Narrated Samurah ibn Jundub: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: A boy is in pledge for his Aqiqah. Sacrifice is made for him on the seventh day, his head is shaved and is smeared with blood. When Qatadah was asked about smearing with blood, how that should be done, he said: When you cut the head (i.e. throat) of the animal (meant for Aqiqah), you may take a few hair of it, place them on its veins, and then place them in the middle of the head of the infant, so that the blood flows on the hair (of the infant) like a threat. Then its head may be washed and shaved off. Abu Dawud said: In narrating the word "is smeared with blood" (yudamma) there is a misunderstanding on the part of Hammam. Abu Dawud said: Hammam has been opposed in narrating the words "is smeared with blood". This is misunderstanding of Hammam. They narrated he word "he is given a name (yusamma) and Hammam narrated it "is smeared with blood" (yudamma). Abu Dawud said: This tradition is not followed
বাংলা অনুবাদ
। সামুরাহ (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেনঃ প্রত্যেক শিশু তার আক্বীকাহর সাথে বন্ধক থাকে। সপ্তম দিনে তার পক্ষ থেকে আক্বীকাহ করতে হয়, মাথা মুড়াতে হয় এবং (মাথায়) রক্ত মাখাতে হয়। কাতাদাহকে জিজ্ঞেস করা হলো, রক্ত কিভাবে মাখতে হয়? তিনি বলেন, আক্বীকাহর পশু যবাহ করে তা থেকে একটু পশম দিয়ে তাতে রক্ত মেখে তা বাচ্চার মাথায় নরম তালুতে রেখে দিবে। অতঃপর মাথা থেকে সূতার ন্যায় রক্ত গড়িয়ে পড়লে মাথা ধুইয়ে তা ন্যাড়া করবে। আবূ দাঊদ বলেন, ‘রক্তমাখার’ শব্দটি হাম্মামের ধারণামূলক, অন্যরা তা বর্জন করেছেন। আবূ দাঊদ বলেন, এখন এ হাদীস আমলযোগ্য নয়।
