It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had cupping done on the two veins of the neck and between the two shoulders. A slave of Banu Bayadhah performed cupping for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and his wage was one and a half mudd. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) negotiated with his owners for a concession, and they reduced it by half a mudd. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the slave the wage for cupping; if it had been unlawful, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would not have given it to him.
