أَمِیرِ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لِیَکُنْ أَوَّلَ مَا تَأْکُلُهُ النُّفَسَاءُ الرُّطَبُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قَالَ لِمَرْیَمَ وَ هُزِّی إِلَیْکِ بِجِذْعِ النَّخْلَةِ تُساقِطْ عَلَیْکِ رُطَباً جَنِیًّا قِیلَ یَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَکُنْ أَیَّامُ الرُّطَبِ قَالَ سَبْعَ تَمَرَاتٍ مِنْ تَمْرِ الْمَدِینَةِ فَإِنْ لَمْ یَکُنْ فَسَبْعَ تَمَرَاتٍ مِنْ تَمْرِ أَمْصَارِکُمْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ یَقُولُ وَ عِزَّتِی وَ جَلَالِی وَ عَظَمَتِی وَ ارْتِفَاعِ مَکَانِی لَا تَأْکُلُ نُفَسَاءُ یَوْمَ تَلِدُ الرُّطَبَ فَیَکُونُ غُلَاماً (إِلَّا کَانَ) حَلِیماً وَ إِنْ کَانَتْ جَارِیَةً کَانَتْ حَلِیمَةً
📚 Al-Mahasin, Vol. 2, p. 535
Translation: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) said: 'The first thing a woman who has just given birth should eat is fresh dates. Indeed, Allah said to Maryam: 'Shake the trunk of the palm tree towards you, and fresh dates will fall upon you.' It was said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what if it's not the season for fresh dates?' He said: 'She should eat seven dates from Medina. And if that's not available, she should eat seven dates from the dates of her own town. Then Allah Almighty and Glorious says: 'I swear by My honor, My glory, My greatness, and the loftiness of My place, no woman who has just given birth eats it on the day her child is born, except that if the child is a boy, he will be forbearing, and if she is a girl, she will be forbearing.'
أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ مَنْ وُلِدَ لَهُ مَوْلُودٌ فَلْیُؤَذِّنْ فِی أُذُنِهِ الْیُمْنَی بِأَذَانِ الصَّلَاةِ وَ لْیُقِمْ فِی أُذُنِهِ الْیُسْرَی فَإِنَّهَا عِصْمَةٌ مِنَ الشَّیْطَانِ الرَّجِیمِ
📚 Al-Kafi, Vol. 6, p. 24
Translation: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) said: 'Whoever has a child born to them should say the Adhan of prayer in their right ear and the Iqamah in their left ear, because this will protect them from the accursed Satan.'

قَالَ أَمِیرُ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ حَنِّکُوا أَوْلَادَکُمْ بِالتَّمْرِ فَکَذَا فَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بِالْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَیْنِ

قَالَ الْکُلَیْنِیُّ وَ فِی رِوَایَةٍ أُخْرَی حَنِّکُوا أَوْلَادَکُمْ بِمَاءِ الْفُرَاتِ وَ بِتُرْبَةِ قَبْرِ الْحُسَیْنِ فَإِنْ لَمْ یَکُنْ فَبِمَاءِ السَّمَاء
📚 Al-Kafi, Vol. 6, p. 24
Translation: Kulayni said: In another narration, it is mentioned: 'Perform the Tahnik of your children with the water of the Euphrates and with the soil of Hussein (peace be upon him). If not available, use rainwater.'
أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فِی الْمَوْلُودِ قَالَ یُسَمَّی فِی الْیَوْمِ السَّابِعِ وَ یُعَقُّ عَنْهُ وَ یُحْلَقُ رَأْسُهُ وَ یُتَصَدَّقُ بِوَزْنِ شَعْرِهِ فِضَّةً وَ یُبْعَثُ إِلَی الْقَابِلَةِ بِالرِّجْلِ مَعَ الْوَرِکِ وَ یُطْعَمُ مِنْهُ وَ یُتَصَدَّقُ

And a leg and thigh from the Aqiqah are sent to the midwife, and with it, food is provided and charity is given.'
أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ الْمَوْلُودُ یُعَقُّ عَنْهُ وَ یُخْتَنُ لِسَبْعَةِ أَیَّامٍ
📚 Al-Kafi, Vol. 6, p. 36
