It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Hisham (may Allah be pleased with him) (who had lived in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)) that his mother brought him to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) passed his hand over his head and supplicated for him (for blessing). He used to sacrifice a single goat on behalf of his entire household (following the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)).
