[Machine] I entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he called for the cupper. The cupper came with horns, and the Prophet ﷺ held them for him. He cupped him once with a horn and instructed him to use the blade to perform another cupping. Then, a Bedouin from the tribe of Banu Fazara, a branch of Banu Khuzaymah, entered. When he saw the cupping, he expressed surprise as he was unfamiliar with it. He asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what is this? Why would you allow this person to cut your skin?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "This is cupping." The Bedouin asked, "And what is cupping?" The Prophet ﷺ answered, "It is one of the best treatments used by people."

دَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَدَعَا الْحَجَّامَ فَأَتَاهُ بِقُرُونٍ فَأَلْزَمَهُ إِيَّاهَا قَالَ عَفَّانُ مَرَّةً بِقَرْنٍ ثُمَّ شَرَطَهُ بِشَفْرَةٍ فَدَخَلَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ مِنْ بَنِي فَزَارَةَ أَحَدِ بَنِي خُزَيْمَةَ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ يَحْتَجِمُ وَلَا عَهْدَ لَهُ بِالْحِجَامَةِ وَلَا يَعْرِفُهَا قَالَ مَا هَذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ عَلَامَ تَدَعُ هَذَا يَقْطَعُ جِلْدَكَ؟ قَالَ هَذَا الْحَجْمُ قَالَ وَمَا الْحَجْمُ؟ قَالَ هُوَ مِنْ خَيْرِ مَا تَدَاوَى بِهِ النَّاسُ
