Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: A slave of Banu Bayadah cupped him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) paid him his wage. Had the wage for cupping been unlawful, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would not have paid it. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered his masters to reduce his tax.
