Muhammad bin Sirin narrated: It reached me that Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had himself cupped and gave him his wage; had he (peace and blessings be upon him) known that there was any harm in it, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would not have given him the wage."
