Arabic text

3481 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلَالٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَلْقَمَةُ بْنُ أَبِي عَلْقَمَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَعْرَجَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ ابْنَ بُحَيْنَةَ، يَقُولُ: «احْتَجَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، بِلَحْيِ جَمَلٍ، وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ، وَسَطَ رَأْسِهِ»

Commentary

a. Any part of the body that is in pain could be treated through cupping. b. Shaving the head during the state of Ihrâm is forbidden. However, it is allowed due to some ailment, but the person has to pay the expiation for shaving his head. The expiation is slaughtering a sheep, or fasting three days, or feeding six needy people, (each needy person should be given at least the equivalent of half a Sa' in measure). c. The reason for the Prophet's cupping on this occasion was a unilateral headache. (See Sahih Al-Bukhari: 5700)
