It is reported about a man from the Ansar named Muhayyisah that he had a slave boy who used to do cupping. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade him from (using) his earnings. He submitted: "Should I not feed it to the orphans in my care?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No!" He submitted: "Should I not give it in charity?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No!" Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted him to use it to feed his (water-carrying) camel. (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say:
This narration is reported in the three "Sunan" in abridged form.
Ahmad and al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat recorded it; the narrators of Ahmad are the narrators of the Sahih.
