Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) came to visit a patient from the tribe of Muqanna’ and said: “I will remain sitting here until you get cupped, because I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: ‘If there is any benefit in your remedies, it is in cupping, or drinking honey, or cauterization, but I dislike cauterization.’”
