This short hadith about aqiqah reports a clear action of the Messenger of Allah. He offered the aqiqah for Al-Hasan and Al-Husain.

Because the text is brief, it should not be expanded with details that are not stated here. The hadith supports the practice through the Prophet's own action and connects aqiqah with care for a newborn child.
