It is narrated on the authority of Humaid that Anas bin Malik (RA) was asked about the earnings of the cupper. He said: Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) got himself cupped. His cupper was Abu Taiba and he (the Holy Prophet) commanded to give him two sa's of corn. He (the Holy Prophet) talked with the members of his family and they lightened the burden of Kharaj (tax) from him (i. e. they made remis- sion in the charges of their own accord). He (Allah's Apostle) ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: The best (treat- ment) which you take is cupping, or it is the best of your treatments.

Rumaid reported that Anas bin Malik (RA) has asked about the earnings of a cupper. Then (the above-mentioned hadith was reported but with this addition) that he said: The best treatment which you get is cupping or aloeswood and do not torture your children by pressing their uvula.

Humaid reported Anas (RA) having said this: Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) called for young cupper belonging to us. He cupped him and he (the Holy Prophet) commanded that he should be paid one sa' or one mudd or two mudds (of wheat). It was said (that charges were high) and a reduction was made in the charges.

Ibn Abbas (RA) reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) got himself cupped and he paid the clipper his charges and he put medicine in his nostrils.

Ibn 'Abbas (RA) reported: The slave of Banu Bayada cupped Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and he gave him his wages, and talked to his master and he reduced the charges, and if this earning was unlawful Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) would not have given it.
