Saying Azan in the Ears of a New Born Child

It is clarified that if male or female child is born, soon after the baby is given bath, it is traditional (Sunnah) to say Azan in its right ear and Iqamat in the left ear by a spiritual guide or a saintly person present at that time. For instance Hzt. Nabi Kareem Sal'am himself said Azan and Iqamat in the ears of Hzt. Imam Hasan Raz. on his birth. And this tradition is being followed since that time.
