[Machine] I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he called for a cupper and ordered him to cup him. The cupper brought his instruments and the Prophet ﷺ handed them to him. The cupper then sterilized one of the edges of his blade and poured the blood into a container beside him. A man from the Banu Fazara entered and said, "What is this, O Messenger of Allah? Why do you allow this person to cut your skin?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "This is cupping. It is the best remedy by which people seek treatment."
كُنْتُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَدَعَا حَجَّامًا وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَحْجُمَهُ فَأَخْرَجَ مَحَاجِمَ لَهُ مِنْ قُرُونٍ فَأَلْزَمَهُنَّ إِيَّاهُ ثُمَّ شَرَطَهُ بِطَرَفِ شَفْرَةٍ وَصَبَّ الدَّمَ فِي إِنَاءٍ عِنْدَهُ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي فَزَارَةَ فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ عَلَامَ تُمَكِّنُ هَذَا مِنْ جِلْدِكَ يَقْطَعُهُ؟ فَقَالَ «هَذَا الْحَجْمُ» قَالَ «هُوَ خَيْرُ مَا يَتَدَاوَى بِهِ النَّاسُ»
