59 – Dawud ibn ʿAmr al-Dabbi narrated to us, ʿAbd al-Jabbar ibn al-Ward narrated to us, from Ibn Abi Mulaykah, who said:

It was said to ʿAishah—when her sister’s son had a baby boy—“Offer the ʿaqiqah (post-natal sacrifice) for your nephew with two camels.” She replied, “God forbid! Rather, the Messenger of Allah—peace and blessings be upon him—said: ‘Two comparable sheep.’”
