Musnad Abi Ya'la 3758 — Sayyiduna Anas was asked about the earnings
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ ، قَالَ : سُئِلَ أَنَسٌ عَنْ كَسْبِ الْحَجَّامِ ، فَلَمْ يَقُلْ فِيهِ حَلَالًا وَلَا حَرَامًا ، قَالَ : قَدِ احْتَجَمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، حَجَمَهُ أَبُو طَيْبَةَ ، فَأَمَرَ لَهُ بِصَاعَيْنِ مِنْ طَعَامٍ ، وَكَلَّمَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَعْنِي أَهْلَهُ - فَخَفَّفُوا عَنْهُ مِنْ غَلَّتِهِ ، أَوْ مِنْ ضَرِيبَتِهِ ، وَقَالَ : خَيْرُ مَا تَدَاوَيْتُمْ بِهِ الْحِجَامَةُ وَالْقُسْطُ الْبَحْرِيُّ ، وَلَا تُعَذِّبُوا صِبْيَانَكُمْ بِالْغَمْزِ .
Humayd (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about the earnings of a cupper, and instead of (explicitly) declaring them lawful or unlawful he narrated this incident: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was himself cupped. Sayyiduna Abu Taybah (may Allah be pleased with him) cupped him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that he be given two sa' of grain. And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke to his masters, so they reduced the fixed levy (kharaj) owed by him." He (peace and blessings be upon him) also said: "Among the best of your treatments are cupping and the use of al-qust al-bahri (a medicinal wood), and do not cause your children pain by pressing their palate with a finger (to treat a throat ailment)."
