في الحجامة من قال: هي خير ما تداوى به
Cupping: those who said it is the best treatment
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 25232 — Cupping: those who said it
٢٥٢٣٢ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا أبو (نعيم) (١) عن زهير عن عبد الملك بن (عمير) (٢) قال: حدثني حصين (بن) (٣) أبي الحر عن سمرة بن جندب قال: كنت عند رسول اللَّه ﷺ فدعا حجامًا (فأمره أن يحجمه) (٤)، فأخرج (محاجم) (٥) من قرون، (فألزمها) (٦) إياه وشرطه بطرف (شفرة) (٧)، فصب الدم وأنا عنده، فدخل عليه رجل من بني فزارة فقال: ما هذا يا رسول اللَّه؟ علام تمكن هذا من جلدك يقطعه؟ (قال) (٨): فسمعت رسول اللَّه ﷺ يقول: "هذا الحجم"، (قال) (٩): وما ⦗٢٠١⦘ الحجم؟ قال: "خير ما (تداوى) (١٠) به الناس" (١١).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I was present with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he (peace and blessings be upon him) sent for a cupper and ordered him to cup him (peace and blessings be upon him). So he took out cupping vessels made of horn and fastened them onto him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he began making incisions on him (peace and blessings be upon him) with the edge of a blade. His (peace and blessings be upon him) blood flowed, and I was with him (peace and blessings be upon him). Meanwhile a man of Banu Fazarah came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! What is this? For what reason have you (peace and blessings be upon him) given this man power over your skin so that he is cutting it? Sayyiduna Samurah said: Then I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "This is cupping." The man asked: What is cupping? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Of the things with which people treat themselves, this is the best."
