Hadith 2155

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " كَانَ إِذَا احْتَجَمَ , احْتَجَمَ فِي الْأَخْدَعَيْنِ " , قَالَ : فَدَعَا غُلَامًا لِبَنِي بَيَاضَةَ فَحَجَمَهُ ، وَأَعْطَى الْحَجَّامَ أَجْرَهُ مُدًّا وَنِصْفًا ، قَالَ : وَكَلَّمَ مَوَالِيَهُ ، فَحَطُّوا عَنْهُ نِصْفَ مُدٍّ ، وَكَانَ عَلَيْهِ مُدَّانِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that whenever the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had cupping done, he would have it done on the veins on both sides of the neck. On one occasion, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called a slave from Banu Bayadah, and he performed the cupping. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him one and a half mudd of wheat as payment, and spoke to his masters regarding this matter, so they reduced it by half a mudd, otherwise previously it was a full two mudd.
