[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."

[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."
