Mustadrak al-Hakim — Hadith 7659
اُردوEn
أخبرَناه محمد بن يعقوب الأخرَم، حدثنا يحيى بن محمد بن يحيى، حدثنا مُسدَّد، حدثنا إسماعيل ابن عُلَيّة، حدثنا داود بن نُصَير، عن عبد الملك بن عُمير، عن حُصين بن أبي الحُرّ، عن سَمُرة قال: دخلَ أعرابيٌّ من بني فَزَارة من بني أُمَّ قِرْفة على رسول الله ﷺ، فإذا حجَّامُ يَحجُمُه بمَحاجمَ له من قُرون فشَرَطه (3) بشَفْرةٍ، فقال: ما هذا يا رسولَ الله، لِمَ تَدَعُ هذا يقطَعُ عليك جِلدَك؟ قال: "هذا الحَجْمُ" قال: وما الحجمُ؟ قال: "خيرُ ما تَداوَى به النَّاسُ" (4).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him); he said: A Bedouin of Banu Fazarah (of Banu Umm Qirfah) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while a cupper was cupping him (peace and blessings be upon him) with cupping vessels (made of horns) and making an incision with a blade. He asked: O Messenger of Allah, what is this? Why do you allow him to cut your skin? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is hijamah (cupping)." He asked: What is hijamah? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is the best of the things with which people treat themselves."
