Ash-Shama'il Al-Muhammadiyah: Hajaamah (Cupping-Cautering) Of Sayyidina Rasoolullah

"Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) sought to have blood drawn from him by the operation of cupping. Abu Taiba cupped him, so he ordered two measures of food for him, and he spoke to his people, so they relieved him of some of his tax. He also said: 'Cupping is the most excellent means by which you can provide medical treatment.’”

“The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) had the operation of cupping performed upon him, and on his instructions I gave the cupper his fee.”

"The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) had cupping performed between the two veins in the neck and between the shoulders. He also gave the cupper his fee, which he would not have done if cupping had been unlawful.”

"The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) summoned a cupper, so he cupped him. Then he asked him: “How much is your tax?” He said: “Three measures of grain,” so he reduced his tax by one measure and gave him his fee.”

"Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) used to have cupping performed between the two veins of the neck and in the upper back, and he used to undergo cupping on the seventeenth, nineteenth and twenty-first days of the month.”

"Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) underwent cupping on the top of the foot, while he was in the state of Pilgrim consecration in Malal [a place between Mecca and Medina].”
