2102. Abū Hurairah narrated that Abū Hind cupped the Prophet ﷺ on his scalp. The Prophet ﷺ said: "O Banū Bayādah, marry (your daughters) to Abū Hind, and propose to him (for his daughters)." And he added: "And if there is any good in any of the medicines that you cure yourselves with, it is in cupping." (Hasan)
2102 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ أَبَا هِنْدٍ، حَجَمَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْيَافُوخِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَا بَنِي بَيَاضَةَ أَنْكِحُوا أَبَا هِنْدٍ وَأَنْكِحُوا إِلَيْهِ» وَقَالَ: «وَإِنْ كَانَ فِي شَيْءٍ مِمَّا تَدَاوُونَ بِهِ خَيْرٌ فَالْحِجَامَةُ»

"His scalp" Al-Yāfukh; the crown of the head, where the bone of the skull from the front meets the bone from the rear of the head. Abū Hind Yasār was a freed slave of Banū Bayādah, yet the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ told them to intermarry him with his people. This is enough to prove that suitability of partners or, say, matching should be based on piety and character, not on caste.
