حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَا مَرَرْتُ لَيْلَةَ أُسْرِيَ بِي بِمَلإٍ مِنَ الْمَلاَئِكَةِ إِلاَّ كُلُّهُمْ يَقُولُ لِي عَلَيْكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ بِالْحِجَامَةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Naṣr ibn ʿAlī al-Jahḍamī narrated to us: Ziyād ibn al-Rabīʿ narrated to us: ʿAbbād ibn Manṣūr narrated to us, from ʿIkrimah, from Ibn ʿAbbās, that the Messenger of Allah said: ‘On the night I was taken on the Night Journey, I passed no gathering of angels without every one of them saying to me, “You should have cupping, Muḥammad.”’

  • The imperative phrase عَلَيْكَ بِـ is rendered as an exhortation to use cupping. The report’s framing refers to the Prophet’s Night Journey (isrāʾ).
