afterwards and shaved (1).

It has been said in reply: Scholars have differed over this. Some say (2): This is narrated by al-Hasan from Samurah, but it is not established that he heard from him. Others say: It is established that al-Hasan heard this particular hadith concerning the ‘aqīqah from Samurah; al-Tirmidhī and others authenticated it. Al-Bukhārī recorded in his Sahīh (3), from Habīb ibn al-Shahīd, who said: Muhammad ibn Sīrīn said to me, “Go and ask al-Hasan from whom he heard the hadith concerning the ‘aqīqah.” He asked him, and he replied, “I heard it from Samurah.”

There was then further disagreement over the wording about smearing with blood: was it correct or a mistake? There were two views (4). Abū Dāwūd said in his Sunan (5): The words “and his head is smeared with blood” are a mistake by Hammām ibn Yahyā; that is, the correct wording is “and he is named.” Someone else said: Hammām had a speech impediment, so he said wa-yudammā (“and his head is smeared with blood”), when he meant wa-yusammā (“and he is named”) (6).

This explanation is untenable. Even if Hammām had mistaken the wording and failed to pronounce it correctly, he also related Qatādah’s description of how the blood was to be applied, and that Qatādah had been asked about it and had given that answer. A speech impediment cannot possibly account for this. Thus, if his narration of the wording about smearing with blood was a mistake, it originated with Qatādah or al-Hasan. Those who affirmed this wording said that smearing with blood is part of the sunnah of the ‘aqīqah. This is reported from al-Hasan

بعدُ ويُحلَق (١). قيل: اختلف النَّاس في ذلك، فمن قائلٍ (٢): هذا من رواية الحسن عن سمرة، ولا يصحُّ سماعه منه، ومن قائلٍ: سماع الحسن من سمرة حديثَ العقيقة هذا صحيحٌ، صحَّحه الترمذي وغيره، وقد ذكر البخاريُّ في «صحيحه» (٣) عن حبيب بن الشَّهيد قال: قال لي محمَّد بن سيرين: اذهبْ فسَلِ الحسنَ ممَّن سمع حديث العقيقة؟ فسأله، فقال: سمعتُه من سمرة. ثمَّ اختُلِف في التَّدمية بعدُ، هل هي صحيحةٌ أو غلطٌ؟ على قولين (٤). فقال أبو داود في «سننه» (٥): هي وهمٌ من همَّام بن يحيى قوله «ويدمَّى»، يعني: إنَّما هو «ويسمَّى». وقال غيره: كان في لسان همام لُثْغةٌ، فقال: «ويدمَّى» وإنَّما أراد «ويسمَّى» (٦). وهذا لا يصحُّ، فإنَّ همّامًا وإن كان وهم في اللَّفظ ولم يُقِمْه لسانه، فقد حكى عن قتادة صفَّة التَّدمية، وأنَّه سُئل عنها فأجاب بذلك، وهذا لا تحتمله اللُّثغة بوجهٍ. فإن كان لفظ التَّدمية منه وهمًا، فهو من قتادة أو من الحسن. والذين أثبتوا لفظ التَّدمية قالوا: إنَّه من سنَّة العقيقة، وهذا مرويٌّ عن الحسن
