It is narrated from Hazrat Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was present in the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had called a cupper, who came with his horn. He applied the horn to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and made an incision with a lancet. Meanwhile, a Bedouin from Fazara also arrived. He said, "O Messenger of Allah, why have you allowed him to cut your skin?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) replied, "This is called cupping, and it is the best method."
