Silsilah as-Sahihah 1609 — Cupping

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Nafi‘! There is heat in my blood, so find a cupping practitioner for me. Try to find one who is gentle, and neither old nor a child. I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Cupping on an empty stomach is best; in it is healing and blessing, and it increases intellect and memory. Get cupped in the name of Allah on Thursday. Avoid getting cupped on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Get cupped on Monday and Tuesday, for Allah the Exalted cured Ayub (peace be upon him) of his illness on that day, and on Wednesday He afflicted him with trial. Leprosy and leukoderma also appear only on Wednesday or its night."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever gets cupped on the seventeenth, nineteenth, and twenty-first (of the lunar month), it will be a cure for every disease."
