Is the narration (The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sacrificed a ram for al-Hasan and a ram for al-Husayn) authentic?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Al-Halabi : In your words there in the house regarding the hadith of the 'aqiqah for al-Hasan and al-Husayn, a ram for each, you said that the stronger position is that it was two rams, one for each.
The Shaykh : Two rams, one for each, yes.
Al-Halabi : Yes, yes. So does this preference mean that the narration of "a ram" is weak? It is authentic, but this one is more authentic and stronger.
The Shaykh : No, it is a narration in one hadith, but we adopted the rule "the additional report is taken, so the addition is added to it." In addition to that, the narration that agrees with his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) is more likely to be the preserved one than the narration that contradicts his saying (peace and blessings be upon him), because the principle in his action (peace and blessings be upon him) is that what came in the Qur'an applies to it:[Hud 11:88] This is the principle. So if there are two narrations, one contradicting his saying and the other agreeing with his saying, this is one of the factors for preference. Also, when we studied the issue of the two narrations, it became clear to us that the chain of the narration is also authentic. So we preferred this one, not because of the chain in the sense that the other is anomalous, but because the addition by a trustworthy narrator is acceptable, first, and because the action agrees with the saying, second. Yes.
Mashhur: Your statement, O Shaykh, in this chapter, is the saying of al-Shawkani in *al-Nayl*: "The principle in the 'aqiqah for a male is one sheep, and the perfection of completeness is two sheep."
The Shaykh : Yes, this principle needs support. What is the evidence?
Mashhur: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sacrificed a ram for al-Hasan and a ram for al-Husayn.
The Shaykh : I say that this hadith has two narrations, so it is not correct to consider what came in the hadith in two forms as establishing one form as the principle over the other, especially since I mentioned earlier that the other form agrees with his saying.
Mashhur: For a male, two sheep are obligatory.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is right.
The questioner : O Shaykh, does this not raise a doubt in the mind of the observer and critic, that it must be from the error of the narrators, because when...
The Shaykh : Yes, this question arises in every hadith that came in two forms, meaning...
The questioner : Meaning the two narrations differed in it.
The Shaykh : Meaning the anomalous hadith and the preserved hadith, this arises in them.
Al-Halabi : Authentic
The Shaykh : The hadith in which it is said that the addition by a trustworthy narrator is acceptable, this arises in it.
Al-Halabi : Authentic
The Shaykh : Ah, there is a possibility in a narration other than this one that it was said that it was originally one sheep and then became two sheep.
The questioner : Yes, but in a narration other than this one, because this narration is from a single occasion.
The Shaykh : Yes, this is from a single occasion and from a single narrator. Yes, yes, please proceed.
The Shaykh : Two rams, one for each, yes.
Al-Halabi : Yes, yes. So does this preference mean that the narration of "a ram" is weak? It is authentic, but this one is more authentic and stronger.
The Shaykh : No, it is a narration in one hadith, but we adopted the rule "the additional report is taken, so the addition is added to it." In addition to that, the narration that agrees with his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) is more likely to be the preserved one than the narration that contradicts his saying (peace and blessings be upon him), because the principle in his action (peace and blessings be upon him) is that what came in the Qur'an applies to it:
And I do not intend to differ from you in that which I have forbidden you
وما أريد أن أخالفكم إلى ما أنهاكم عنهTwo rams, one for each.
