1941. Narrated Ibn Abī Aūfa رضي الله عنه: We were in the company of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ on a journey. He said to a Ibn Ḥazm thinks that Al-Ḥasan's Hadīth is invalidated by another authentic Hadīth narrated by Abū Sa'īd which goes: "The Prophet ﷺ permitted cupping for person observing Ṣaum (fast)" (Faṭh Al-Bārī). man, "Get down and mix Sawīq(1) (powdered roasted barley or wheat grain) with water for me." The man said, "The sun (has not set yet),(2) O Allāh's Messenger" The Prophet ﷺ again said to him, "Get down and mix Sawīq with water for me." The man again said, "O Allāh's Messenger! The sun!" The Prophet ﷺ said to him (for the third time), "Get down and mix Sawīq with water for me." The man dismounted and mixed Sawīq with water for him. The Prophet ﷺ drank it and then beckoned with his hand (towards the east) and said, "When you see the night falling from this side, then a person observing Saum (fast) should break his Saum (fast)".

1941 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، سَمِعَ ابْنَ أَبِي أَوْفَى رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ فَقَالَ لِرَجُلٍ: «انْزِلْ فَاجْدَحْ لِي»، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، الشَّمْسُ؟ قَالَ: «انْزِلْ فَاجْدَحْ لِي»، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الشَّمْسُ؟ قَالَ: «انْزِلْ فَاجْدَحْ لِي»، فَنَزَلَ فَجَدَحَ لَهُ فَشَرِبَ، ثُمَّ رَمَى بِيَدِهِ هَا هُنَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ اللَّيْلَ أَقْبَلَ مِنْ هَا هُنَا، فَقَدْ أَفْطَرَ الصَّائِمُ»، تَابَعَهُ جَرِيرٌ، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى قَالَ: كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ

(1) (H.1938) Hadīth No.1938 contradicts the Hadīth of Al-Ḥasan. Apparently the Muslim jurists have given various interpretations to discard this contradiction: Ash-Shāfī'i says, "Both Aḥādīth are correct, but the one narrated by Ibn 'Abbās is stronger as regards its series of narrators; yet it is better to avoid cupping while observing Ṣaum (fast). But the verdict is to be taken from the Hadīth of Ibn 'Abbās. I have the knowledge that the Prophet's Companions and their followers and all Muslim scholars think that cupping does not break one's Ṣaum."
