Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) relates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had cupping (hijamah) done on his blessed head while in the state of ihram. This hadith is found with its chain in Bukhari and Muslim, but without the mention of the head, and it is sahih (authentic) on the condition of both of them.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had cupping done on the upper part of his feet, because of a pain, while in the state of ihram. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it with this addition.
