Commentary

a. The Companion who cupped the Prophet ﷺ was Abu Taibah ؓ. (Sahih Al-Bukhārī: 2102). His name was Nāfī'. (Al-Akmāl fee Asmā Al-Rijāl by the compiler of Mishkātul-Masābīh): He was a slave of the Banu Bayādah tribe. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ gave him a decent wage and he ؓ did him a further favor by telling his masters to decrease his Kharāj. Kharāj is a fixed amount of his earnings that he is required to give to his masters. (Sahih Bukhārī aforementioned reference) b. Cupping and being cupped is lawful and therefore its earning is lawful too.
