English translation

5696. Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه that he was asked about the wages of the one who cupps others. He said, "Allāh's Messenger ﷺ was cupped by Abū Taiba, to whom he gave two Ṣā' of food and interceded for him with his masters who consequently reduced what they used to charge him daily. Then the Prophet ﷺ said, "The best medicines you may treat yourselves with are cupping and sea incense." He added, "You should not torture your children by treating tonsillitis by pressing the tonsils (or the palate with the finger), but use incense."

5696 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُقَاتِلٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدٌ الطَّوِيلُ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ أَجْرِ الحَجَّامِ، فَقَالَ: احْتَجَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، حَجَمَهُ أَبُو طَيْبَةَ، وَأَعْطَاهُ صَاعَيْنِ مِنْ طَعَامٍ، وَكَلَّمَ مَوَالِيَهُ فَخَفَّفُوا عَنْهُ، وَقَالَ: «إِنَّ أَمْثَلَ مَا تَدَاوَيْتُمْ بِهِ الحِجَامَةُ، وَالقُسْطُ البَحْرِيُّ» وَقَالَ: «لاَ تُعَذِّبُوا صِبْيَانَكُمْ بِالْغَمْزِ مِنَ العُذْرَةِ، وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالقُسْطِ»
