Amir bin Abdullah bin al-Zubayr narrates from his father that he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was being cupped (having hijamah). When he (peace and blessings be upon him) had finished, he said: "O Abdullah, take this blood away and pour it out in a place where no one can see you." When I had left the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I went for that blood and drank it. When I came back, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "O Abdullah, what did you do?" I said: I have hidden it in a place where I think it will remain concealed from the people. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Perhaps you drank it?" I said: Yes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "And who told you to drink blood? There is ruin (trial) for the people because of you, and ruin for you because of the people."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with them both): I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever recites the Qur'an, whether from memory or by looking at it, will be given a tree in Paradise such that if a crow were to hatch a chick beneath one of its leaves, and that chick then began to fly, it would grow old before it covered the distance of that leaf."
