It is reported about Sayyiduna Abu Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) that he came to Sayyiduna Abu Musa, who was being cupped at night. Sayyiduna Abu Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Had you had it done in the daytime, it would have been appropriate." Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Are you telling me to shed my blood in the daytime while I am fasting, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has said: 'The fast of the one who cups and the one who is cupped is broken'?"
Al-Bazzar and al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir recorded it. Its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih, except for al-Bazzar's teacher, whose case is different: he is thiqah (trustworthy) and no one has criticised him (but he is not among the narrators of the Sahih).
