It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he visited al-Muqanna' (a man by that name) when he was ill, then said: I will not leave here until he has cupping done, for I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Indeed, there is healing in it." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a Bedouin of Banu Fazarah (of Banu Umm Qirfah) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while a cupper was cupping him (peace and blessings be upon him) with cupping vessels (made of horns) and making incisions with a blade. He asked: O Messenger of Allah, what is this? Why do you allow him to cut your skin? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is hijamah (cupping), and it is the best of all the things with which you treat yourselves." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it. Shu'bah bin al-Hajjaj and Zuhayr bin Mu'awiyah also narrated it from Abd al-Malik bin Umayr.

He asked: O Messenger of Allah, what is this? Why do you allow him to cut your skin? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is hijamah (cupping)." He asked: What is hijamah? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is the best of the things with which people treat themselves."

He said to me: O Abu al-Hakam, you too should have cupping done. I said: I have never had cupping done.
