Assalam-mu-alaikum,
I was always taught that part of welcoming the new-born with the Akamah called in one ear and the Athan in the other was part of the sunnah, recently I was told that it was not. The hadith's pertaning those two issues were weak. But later while reading in the summarized version of sahih Al-Bukahari under Akika I read this hadith:
Narated Abu Musa (rathiAllahhuanhu):A son was born to me and I took him to the prophet Salalahualaihiwasalam
who named him Ibrahim,did Tahnik for him with a date, invoked Allah to bless him and returned him to me.
At the bottom of the page they had tahnik explained as the process of chewing some sweet food(e.g.,dates or honey)and incerting it into the babys mouth and rubbing its chin to train it to eat and pronouncing the the Athan in the babys ear and giving name to the baby. So my question is it sunnah to call both the Akamah and the Athan in the ear, just the Athan or neither.
Jazakallah Khair

al-Hamdu-Lillaahi Rabbil-'Aalameen was-Salaatu was-Salaamu 'alaa Ashrafil-Anbiyaa'e wal-Mursaleen, wa ba'd:
As-Salaamu alaikum wa Rahmatullaah
The hadeeth that is narrated with regards to this issue is as follows (taken from the the book titled:\\\"Manners of Welcoming the New Born Child in Islaam" By Yoosef ibn Abdullaah al-Arafee
Translated by our noble brother Aboo Talhah Daawood ibn Ronald Burbank
(A) Its Time
This Adhan is to be given straight after the birth, or very soon afterwards, as he did with his grandson al-Husayn ibn 'Abee - radiyallaahu 'anhumaa since it is narrated from Aboo Raafi' that he said:
<I saw the Prophet give adhan for the Prayer in the ear of al-Husayn ibn 'Alee when his mother Faatimah gave birth to him>
Footnote: Reported by Ahmad (6/9), Aboo Daawood (No. 5105), and at-Tirmidhee (No. 1553) who declared it 'hasan' and it was declared 'hasan' by Shaikh al-Albaanee in 'al-lrwaa' (No. 1173) [Transl. Shaikh al-Albaanee as he explained in 'ad-Da'eefah' formerly declared the narration of Aboo Raafi' to be weak in isnaad, but possibly supported to the level of 'hasan' depending upon the reliability of a narration of al-Baihaqee in Shu'abdul-Eemaan'. When, however, it later became clear to Shaikh al-Albaanee that this narration was reported by two liars, he clearly stated that the hadeeth is weak (da'eef). The first narration that of Aboo Raafi' is weak due to its narrator 'Aasim ibn 'Ubaydillaah ibn Aasim al 'Umaree who is weak by agreement of the scholars. The second narration, of al-Hasan ibn `Alee concerning giving adhaan in the baby's right ear and iqaamah in its left is fabricated (mawdoo') two of its narrators: being accused of fabrication (i) Yahyaa itnul-'Alaa who was accused by Imaam Ahmad, Wakee' and others of being a liar and a tabricator of hadeeth, and (ii) Marwaan ibn Saalim: who was declared 'matrook' (abandoned) and accused by as-Saajee and others of fabrication. The third and final narration, the report of al-Baihaqee in 'Shu'abul-Eemaan' from Ibn 'Abbaas stating that the Prophet gave adhaan in the right ear of al'Hasan and iqaamah in his left ear then it is similar in standard to the second due to two of its narrators: (i) Muhammad ibn Yoonus al-Kudaymee: who was accused by Aboo Daawood of being a liar, by Ibn 'Adiyy and others of fabrication, and Ibn Hibbaan said of him: "Perhaps he fabricated more than a thousand hadeeth", and (ii) al-Hasan ibn 'Amr ibn Sayf al-'Abdee: Declared by ar-Raazee to be abandoned (matrook) and by al-Bukhaaree and Ibnul-Madeenee to be a liar. As is well known from the science of hadeeth, the narration of a liar or fabricator cannot be used to support other narrations.
Assalam-o-Alayqum
