24. Wages
٢٤۔ كتاب الإجارة
The Prophet ﷺ said: The earnings of a cupper are impure, the price paid for a dog is impure, and the hire paid to a prostitute is impure.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ كَسْبُ الْحَجَّامِ خَبِيثٌ وَثَمَنُ الْكَلْبِ خَبِيثٌ وَمَهْرُ الْبَغِيِّ خَبِيثٌ
Muhayyisah asked permission of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ regarding hire of the cupper, but he forbade him. He kept on asking his permission, and at last he said to him: Feed your watering camel with it and feed your slave with it.
أَنَّهُ اسْتَأْذَنَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي إِجَارَةِ الْحَجَّامِ فَنَهَاهُ عَنْهَا فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَسْأَلُهُ وَيَسْتَأْذِنُهُ حَتَّى أَمَرَهُ أَنِ اعْلِفْهُ نَاضِحَكَ وَرَقِيقَكَ
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ got him self cupped and gave the cupper his wages. Had he considered it impure, he would not have given it (wage) to him.
احْتَجَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَعْطَى الْحَجَّامَ أَجْرَهُ وَلَوْ عَلِمَهُ خَبِيثًا لَمْ يُعْطِهِ
That Abu Tibah cupped the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he ordered that a sa' of dates be given to him, also ordering his people to remit some of his dues.
أَنَّهُ قَالَ حَجَمَ أَبُو طَيْبَةَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَمَرَ لَهُ بِصَاعٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ وَأَمَرَ أَهْلَهُ أَنْ يُخَفِّفُوا عَنْهُ مِنْ خَرَاجِهِ
