٣٩۔ كتاب السلام
There is a treatment for every disease and the diseases are remove with the permission of Allah
from the Prophet ﷺ that he said, "There is a remedy for every ailment, and when the remedy is applied to the ailment it is cured with the permission of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious."
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «لِكُلِّ دَاءٍ دَوَاءٌ، فَإِذَا أُصِيبَ دَوَاءُ الدَّاءِ، بَرَأَ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ ﷻ۔»
I will not go away unless you get yourself cupped, for I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: It is a remedy.
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ فِيهِ شِفَاءً
There came to our house 'Abdullah and another person from amongst the members of the household who complained of a wound. Jabir said: What ails you? He said: There is a wound which is very painful for me, whereupon he said: Boy, bring to me a cupper. He said: 'Abdullah, what do you intend to do with the cupper? I said: I would get this wound cupped. He said: By Allah. oven the touch of fly or cloth causes me pain (and cupping) would thus cause me (unbearable) pain. And when he saw him feeling pain (at the idea of cupping), he said: I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: If there is any effective remedy amongst your remedies, these are (three): Cupping, drinking of honey and cauterisation with the help of fire. Messenger of Allah ﷺ had said: As for myself I do not like cauterisation. The cupper was called and he cupped him and he was all right.
خُرَاجٌ بِي قَدْ شَقَّ عَلَىَّ فَقَالَ يَا غُلاَمُ ائْتِنِي بِحَجَّامٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَا تَصْنَعُ بِالْحَجَّامِ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُعَلِّقَ فِيهِ مِحْجَمًا قَالَ وَاللَّهِ إِنَّ الذُّبَابَ لَيُصِيبُنِي أَوْ يُصِيبُنِي الثَّوْبُ فَيُؤْذِينِي وَيَشُقُّ عَلَىَّ فَلَمَّا رَأَى تَبَرُّمَهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنْ كَانَ فِي شَىْءٍ مِنْ أَدْوِيَتِكُمْ خَيْرٌ فَفِي شَرْطَةِ مَحْجَمٍ أَوْ شَرْبَةٍ مِنْ عَسَلٍ أَوْ لَذْعَةٍ بِنَارٍ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَمَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَكْتَوِيَ قَالَ فَجَاءَ بِحَجَّامٍ فَشَرَطَهُ فَذَهَبَ عَنْهُ مَا يَجِدُ
I think he (Abu Taiba) was her faster brother or a young boy before entering upon the adolescent period.
أَنَّ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ اسْتَأْذَنَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الْحِجَامَةِ فَأَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَبَا طَيْبَةَ أَنْ يَحْجُمَهَا قَالَ حَسِبْتُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ كَانَ أَخَاهَا مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ أَوْ غُلاَمًا لَمْ يَحْتَلِمْ
Jabir reported that Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a phystian to Ubayy b. Ka'b. He cut the vein and then cauterised it.
بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى أُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ طَبِيبًا فَقَطَعَ مِنْهُ عِرْقًا ثُمَّ كَوَاهُ عَلَيْهِ
A'mash reported this with the same chain of transmitters and he made no mention of the fact that he cut one of his veins.
عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرَا فَقَطَعَ مِنْهُ عِرْقًا
Jabir b. 'Abdillah reported that on the day of Ahzab Ubayy received the wound of an arrow in his medial arm vein. Messenger of Allah ﷺ cauterised it.

Jabir reported that Sa'd b. Mu'adh received a wound of the arrow in his vein. Messenger of Allah ﷺ cauterised it with a rod and it was swollen, to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did it for the second time.

Anas b. Malik reported that Messenger of Allah ﷺ got himself cupped and never withheld the wages of anyone.
سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ احْتَجَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَكَانَ لاَ يَظْلِمُ أَحَدًا أَجْرَهُ

عَنْ هِشَامٍ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ مِثْلَهُ
Cool (the fever) with water. for it is because of the vehemence of the beat of Hell.
أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تُؤْتَى بِالْمَرْأَةِ الْمَوْعُوكَةِ فَتَدْعُو بِالْمَاءِ فَتَصُبُّهُ فِي جَيْبِهَا وَتَقُولُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ ابْرُدُوهَا بِالْمَاءِ وَقَالَ إِنَّهَا مِنْ فَيْحِ جَهَنَّمَ
