2. It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from al-Hassan ibn Hammad ibn ‘Udays from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah, Alayhi al-Salam, ‘What should we do first?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘First shave his head, then offer Aqiqah and give in charity of silver equal to the weight of his hairs. All of this should be done in one place.’”
وَ عَنْهُ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُدَيْسٍ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ
قُلْتُ لَهُ بِأَيِّ ذَلِكَ نَبْدَأُ قَالَ تَحْلِقُ رَأْسَهُ وَ تَعُقُّ عَنْهُ وَ تَصَدَّقُ بِوَزْنِ شَعْرِهِ فِضَّةً وَ يَكُونُ ذَلِكَ فِي مَكَانٍ وَاحِدٍ .
