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.
