This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Hisham with the same chain of transmitters and he said: There stood up with her a person amongst us whom we did not know before as an incantator.

'Uthman bin Abu al-'As Al-Thaqafi reported that he made a complaint of pain to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) that he felt in his body at the time he had become Muslim. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Place your hand at the place where you feel pain in your body and say Bismillah (in the name of Allah) three times and seven times A'udhu billahi wa qudratihi min sharri ma ajidu wa ukhdhiru (I seek refuge with Allah and with His Power from the evil that I find and that I fear).

'Uthman bin Abu al-'As reported that he came to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and said: Allah's Messenger, the Satan intervenes between me and my prayer and my reciting of the Qur'an and he confounds me. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: That is (the doing of the Satan) who is known as Khinzab, and when you perceive its effect, seek refuge with Allah from it and spit three times to your left. I did that and Allah dispelled that from me.

'Uthman bin Abu al-'As reported that he came to Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and he narrated like this. In the hadith transmitted on the authority of Salam bin Nuh there is no mention of three times.

This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of 'Uthman bin Abu al-'As with a slight variation of wording.

Jabir reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: There is a remedy for every malady, and when the remedy is applied to the disease it is cured with the permission of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious.

Jabir reported that he visited Muqanna' and then said: I will not go away unless you get yourself cupped, for I heard Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) say: It is a remedy.

'Asim bin 'Umar bin Qatada reported: There came to our house 'Abdullah and another person from amongst the members of the household who complained of a wound. Jabir said: What ails you? He said: There is a wound which is very painful for me, whereupon he said: Boy, bring to me a cupper. He said: 'Abdullah, what do you intend to do with the cupper? I said: I would get this wound cupped. He said: By Allah, even the touch of fly or cloth causes me pain and cupping would thus cause me (unbearable) pain. And when he saw him feeling pain (at the idea of cupping), he said: I heard Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: If there is any effective remedy amongst your remedies, these are (three): Cupping, drinking of honey and cauterisation with the help of fire. Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) had said: As for myself I do not like cauterisation. The cupper was called and he cupped him and he was all right.

Jabir reported that Umm Salamah sought permission from Allah's messenger (may Allah's peace upon him) for getting herself cupped. The Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) asked Abu Taiba to cup her. He (Jabir) said: I think he (Abu Taiba) was her foster brother or a young boy before entering upon the adolescent period.

Jabir reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) sent a physician to Ubayy bin Ka'b. He cut the vein and then cauterised it.
