Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Abu Taybah cupped the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that he be given two sa' of food, and he spoke to his masters that they should reduce his tax, and he said: "The best of your remedies is al-hijamah (cupping) and the use of al-qust al-bahri (sea costus); and do not torment your children by pressing (their throats) because of throat pain."
