عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الْيَهُودِ أَهْدَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَاةً مَسْمُومَةً فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَ مَا حَمَلَكِ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتِ قَالَتْ أَحْبَبْتُ أَوْ أَرَدْتُ إِنْ كُنْتَ نَبِيًّا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ سَيُطْلِعُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ نَبِيًّا أُرِيحُ النَّاسَ مِنْكَ قَالَ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا وَجَدَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا احْتَجَمَ قَالَ فَسَافَرَ مَرَّةً فَلَمَّا أَحْرَمَ وَجَدَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَاحْتَجَمَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a Jewish woman presented a poisoned goat as a gift to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When he came to know of it, he sent for her and asked: "What made you do this act?" She said: "I intended that if you are a true Prophet, Allah the Exalted would inform you about it, and if you are not a true Prophet, then in this way I would relieve the people of you." Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that whenever the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) later felt the effect of that poison, he would have cupping done. Once, while he was on a journey and had entered the state of Ihram, he felt the effect of that poison, so he had cupping done.
