To say the 'iQaamah in a child's ear
A child is born. You say the
adhaan in his right ear; you say
the 'iQaamah in his left ear.
To do this is mustahabb. Those
who follow this opinion use
the following hadith as evidence
Narrated Abu Rafi':
I saw the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam)
uttering the call to prayer (Adhan)
in the ear of al-Hasan ibn Ali
when Fatimah gave birth to him.
[Sunan Abi Dawud]
Ibn Hajar said in al-talkhiiS that
the chain of this hadith rests on
'aaSim bin 'ubaid Allaah who is
weak.
Sheikh al-albaani graded the hadith
hasan.
