Al-Kāfi|Volume 6|Book 1|Chapter 15
عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ عَقِيقَةُ الْغُلَامِ وَ الْجَارِيَةِ كَبْشٌ .
4. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Hammad ibn Shu’ayb from abu Basir who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘ ‘Aqiqah for a boy or a girl is one ram.’”
