Reciting the Adhan (call to prayer) in the newborn’s right ear and the Iqamah in the left ear shortly after birth is a recommended Sunnah, based on a hadith reported about the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) doing this for his grandson Hasan (recorded by Abu Dawood and at-Tirmidhi, though scholars have some discussion on its authenticity grade). The wisdom often cited is that the first words a newborn hears should be the call to worship Allah. This practice is separate from formal naming — it typically happens immediately or very shortly after birth, while the naming itself may follow on the same day or be reserved for the seventh day alongside Aqiqah.
