Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) sought permission from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to have cupping done, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed Abu Taybah to perform cupping for Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her). The narrator says: I think he also mentioned that this person was the foster brother of Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), or he was a boy who had not yet reached puberty.
