[Machine] It is narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was cupped by Abu Taybah. He commanded him to give him two measures of food and spoke to his companions, instructing them to lighten his taxes. He said, "The best remedies that you can use are cupping and Qust al-Bahri, and do not treat your children harshly by piercing (their ears) with a needle."
