It was asked from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him): Did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) have cupping done? He replied: Yes, Abu Taybah performed cupping for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him two sa’ of grain as wages and said to his owners: “Reduce his tax.” And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Indeed, the best treatment you use is cupping, and for the treatment of children’s tonsils, use costus (Qust al-Bahri), and do not cause pain to children by pressing their throats.”
