Hadith 361
حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: «إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ احْتَجَمَ فِي الْأَخْدَعَيْنِ وَبَيْنَ الْكَتِفَيْنِ، وَأَعْطَى الْحَجَّامَ أَجْرَهُ وَلَوْ كَانَ حَرَامًا لَمْ يُعْطِهِ»
Imam Sha'bi, narrating from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them), says: I think that Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) said: Indeed, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had cupping done on the veins of the neck and between the shoulders, and he gave wages to the one who performed the cupping. If it had been forbidden, he would not have given wages to the one who performed the cupping.
