ahmad:23690Isḥāq b. ʿĪsá > Mālik > al-Zuhrī > Ibn Muḥayyiṣah from his father

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. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3422)   

أحمد:٢٣٦٩٠حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عِيسَى أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ مُحَيِّصَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ

أَنَّهُ اسْتَأْذَنَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي إِجَارَةِ الْحَجَّامِ فَنَهَاهُ عَنْهَا فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَسْأَلْهُ فِيهَا حَتَّى قَالَ لَهُ اعْلِفْهُ نَاضِحَكَ وَأَطْعِمْهُ رَقِيقَكَ

tirmidhi:1277Qutaybah > Mālik b. Anas > Ibn Shihāb > Ibn Muḥayyiṣah Akhī Banī Ḥārithah from his father

From his father, that he sought permission from the Prophet ﷺ to take the wages for cupping and he ﷺ forbade him from it. He continued asking him and seeking his permission until he said: "Use it to give fodder to your water-carrying camels, and to feed your slaves." [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Rafi' bin Khadij, Abu Juhaifah, Jabir, and As-Sa'ib bin Yazid.  

[Abu 'Eisa said:] The Hadith of Muhayyisah is a Hasan Sahih Hadith. This is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge. Ahmad said: "If I am asked for something by cupper then I deny him, acting upon this Hadith."

Malik related to me from Ibn Shihab from Ibn Muhayyisa al-Ansari, one of the Banu Haritha, that he asked permission from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to give payment for cupping, and he forbade him to do it. He continued to ask and seek his permission until he said, "Feed the ones who drive your water-carrying camels," meaning "your slaves."

أَنَّهُ اسْتَأْذَنَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي إِجَارَةِ الْحَجَّامِ فَنَهَاهُ عَنْهَا فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَسْأَلُهُ وَيَسْتَأْذِنُهُ حَتَّى قَالَ اعْلِفْهُ نُضَّاحَكَ يَعْنِي رَقِيقَكَ

[Machine] "Muhayyisah asked the Prophet ﷺ about earning money as a cupper. He forbade her from it, but she continued talking to him about it until he said, 'Employ him and give him provisions.'  

أحمد:٢٣٦٩٣حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ حَرَامِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُحَيِّصَةَ

أَنَّ مُحَيِّصَةَ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَنْ كَسْبِ حَجَّامٍ لَهُ فَنَهَاهُ عَنْهُ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ بِهِ يُكَلِّمُهُ حَتَّى قَالَ اعْلِفْهُ نَاضِحَكَ وَأَطْعِمْهُ رَقِيقَكَ  

ibnhibban:5154Muḥammad b. al-Ḥasan b. Qutaybah > Yazīd b. Mawhab > al-Layth > Ibn Shihāb > Ibn Muḥayyiṣah

[Machine] His father sought permission from the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ regarding the payment of Zakat on behalf of a person who performs cupping (Hijama), but the Prophet refused to grant him permission. He continued persisting until the Prophet finally said, "Feed him from your own food and provide him with your own clothing."  

ابن حبّان:٥١٥٤أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ قُتَيْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ مَوْهَبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مُحَيِّصَةَ

أَنَّ أَبَاهُ اسْتَأْذَنَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي خَرَاجِ الْحَجَّامِ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَأْذَنَ لَهُ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ بِهِ حَتَّى قَالَ «أَطْعِمْهُ رَقِيقَكَ وَأَعْلِفْهُ نَاضِحَكَ»

[Machine] That Muhyissa asked the Prophet ﷺ about the income of the cupping practitioner, so he forbade him from it, but he continued talking to him until he said, "Feed your camel with your thin food and water it with your fresh water."  

البيهقي:١٩٥٠٦أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَا ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ أنبأ الشَّافِعِيُّ أنبأ سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ حَرَامِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُحَيِّصَةَ
