عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ قَالَ سُئِلَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ كَسْبِ الْحَجَّامِ قَالَ احْتَجَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَجَمَهُ أَبُو طَيْبَةَ فَأَمَرَ لَهُ بِصَاعٍ مِنْ شَعِيرٍ وَكَلَّمَ مَوَالِيَهُ أَنْ يُخَفِّفُوا عَنْهُ مِنْ ضَرِيبَتِهِ وَقَالَ أَمْثَلُ مَا تَدَاوَيْتُمْ بِهِ الْحِجَامَةُ وَالْقُسْطُ الْبَحْرِيُّ
Humaid says: It was asked from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) about the earnings from cupping. He said: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had cupping done, and Sayyiduna Abu Taybah (may Allah be pleased with him) performed cupping for him, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that he be given one sa’ of barley, and he asked his masters to reduce the amount of earnings they had fixed for him. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The best treatment you use is cupping and the use of Qust al-Bahri.

Meanwhile, a Bedouin from the branch of Banu Farazah of Banu Jadhimah came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When he saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) having cupping done, he said: O Messenger of Allah! Why have you allowed him to cut your skin? In fact, he did not know what cupping was, nor had he ever seen it being done. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is cupping. He asked: What is cupping? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Among the treatments people use, cupping is one of the best treatments.
