Established Prophetic Sunnahs:

*Tahnik* (rubbing the newborn's palate)

3
00:00:11,070 --> 00:00:15,890
On the authority of Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

4
00:00:15,890 --> 00:00:18,129
"A boy was born to me,

5
00:00:18,129 --> 00:00:22,210
so I brought him to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

6
00:00:22,210 --> 00:00:24,690
He named him Ibrahim,

7
00:00:24,690 --> 00:00:27,010
perform *tahnik* on him with a date,

8
00:00:27,010 --> 00:00:29,649
and supplicated for blessings upon him."

9
00:00:29,649 --> 00:00:31,170
The hadith.

10
00:00:31,170 --> 00:00:33,170
Agreed upon [by al-Bukhari and Muslim].

11
00:00:33,630 --> 00:00:35,149
*Tahnik*

12
00:00:35,149 --> 00:00:37,310
is chewing a sweet food

13
00:00:37,310 --> 00:00:40,429
and rubbing it across the palate inside the newborn's mouth.

14
00:00:40,429 --> 00:00:43,869
It is best that this *tahnik* be done with a date.
