Sahih Muslim 1577a
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، - يَعْنُونَ ابْنَ جَعْفَرٍ - عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، قَالَ سُئِلَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ عَنْ كَسْبِ الْحَجَّامِ، فَقَالَ احْتَجَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَجَمَهُ أَبُو طَيْبَةَ فَأَمَرَ لَهُ بِصَاعَيْنِ مِنْ طَعَامٍ وَكَلَّمَ أَهْلَهُ فَوَضَعُوا عَنْهُ مِنْ خَرَاجِهِ وَقَالَ " إِنَّ أَفْضَلَ مَا تَدَاوَيْتُمْ بِهِ الْحِجَامَةُ أَوْ هُوَ مِنْ أَمْثَلِ دَوَائِكُمْ " .

Yahya ibn Ayyub, Qutaybah ibn Said, and Ali ibn Hujr narrated to us. They said: Ismail—meaning Ibn Jafar—narrated to us, from Humayd, who said: Anas ibn Malik was asked about a cupper's earnings. He said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was cupped by Abu Taybah. He ordered that two sa's of food be given to him, spoke with his household, and they reduced his levy. He also said: The best treatment you use is cupping—or it is among the best of your remedies.
