English translation

3486. It was narrated from Anas bin Mâlik that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Whoever wants to be cupped, let him seek out the seventeenth, nineteenth or twenty-first (of the month); and let none of you allow his blood to rage so that it kills him." (Da'if)

Arabic text

3486 - حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مَطَرٍ، عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، عَنِ النَّهَّاسِ بْنِ قَهْمٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «مَنْ أَرَادَ الْحِجَامَةَ، فَلْيَتَحَرَّ سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ، أَوْ تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ، أَوْ إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ، وَلَا يَتَبَيَّغْ بِأَحَدِكُمُ الدَّمُ فَيَقْتُلَهُ»

Commentary

The condition of the human body undergoes changes during the different lunar dates. Therefore, one should take care of the instructions mentioned in the Ahâdith. The third week of the lunar month is suitable for cupping.
