Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Book 66:
Sacrifice on Occasion of Birth (`Aqiqa)
Volume 7, Book 66, Number 376:
Narrated Abu Musa:
A son was born to me and I took him to the Prophet
who named him Ibrahim, did Tahnik for him with a date,
invoked Allah to bless him and returned him to me. (The
narrator added: That was Abu Musa's eldest son.)
Volume 7, Book 66, Number 377:
Narrated 'Aisha:
A boy was brought to the Prophet to do Tahnik for
him, but the boy urinated on him, whereupon the Prophet
had water poured on the place of urine.
Volume 7, Book 66, Number 378:
Narrated Asma' bint Abu Bakr:
I conceived 'Abdullah bin AzZubair at Mecca and went
out (of Mecca) while I was about to give birth. I came
to Medina and encamped at Quba', and gave birth at
Quba'. Then I brought the child to Allah's Apostle and
placed it (on his lap). He asked for a date, chewed it,
and put his saliva in the mouth of the child. So the
first thing to enter its stomach was the saliva of
Allah's Apostle. Then he did its Tahnik with a date, and
invoked Allah to bless him. It was the first child born
in the Islamic era, therefore they (Muslims) were very
happy with its birth, for it had been said to them that
the Jews had bewitched them, and so they would not
produce any offspring.

379p:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Abu Talha had a child who was sick. Once, while Abu
Talha was out, the child died. When Abu Talha returned
home, he asked, "How does my son fare?" Um Salaim (his
wife) replied, "He is quieter than he has ever been."
Then she brought supper for him and he took his supper
and slept with her. When he had finished, she said (to
him), "Bury the child (as he's dead)." Next morning Abu
Talha came to Allah's Apostle and told him about that.
The Prophet said (to him), "Did you sleep with your wife
last night?" Abu Talha said, "Yes". The Prophet said, "O
Allah! Bestow your blessing on them as regards that
night of theirs." Um Sulaim gave birth to a boy. Abu
Talha told me to take care of the child till it was
taken to the Prophet. Then Abu Talha took the child to
the Prophet and Um Sulaim sent some dates along with the
child. The Prophet took the child (on his lap) and asked
if there was something with him. The people replied,
"Yes, a few dates." The Prophet took a date, chewed it,
took some of it out of his mouth, put it into the
child's mouth and did Tahnik for him with that, and
named him 'Abdullah.

Narrated Salman bin 'Amir Ad-Dabbi:
I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "'Aqiqa is to be
offered for a (newly born) boy, so slaughter (an animal)
for him, and relieve him of his suffering." (Note: It
has been quoted in Fateh-AL-Bari that the majority of
the Religious Scholars agrees to the Hadith narrated in
Sahih At-TlRMlZY that the Prophet was asked about Aqiqa
and he ordered 2 sheep for a boy and one sheep for a
girl and that is his tradition "SUNNA".)

Ibn Sirin told me to ask Al-Hassan from whom he had
heard the narration of 'Aqiqa. I asked him and he said,
"From Samura bin Jundab."
