حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ , حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مَطَرٍ , عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ , عَنْ النَّهَّاسِ بْنِ قَهْمٍ , عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ , أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ : " مَنْ أَرَادَ الْحِجَامَةَ , فَلْيَتَحَرَّ سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ , أَوْ تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ , أَوْ إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ , وَلَا يَتَبَيَّغْ بِأَحَدِكُمُ الدَّمُ فَيَقْتُلَهُ " .
´It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` “Whoever wants to be cupped, let him seek out the seventeenth, nineteenth or twenty-first (of the month); and let none of you allow his blood to rage so that it kills him.”
