It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The best things with which you treat yourselves are cupping and Indian costus. Do not cause pain to your children by forcing them to swallow medicine."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The best days on which you should get cupping done are the seventeenth, nineteenth, and twenty-first (of the lunar month). On the night of Mi'raj, whichever group of angels I passed by, they all said: O Muhammad! Make sure to get cupping done."
