3487. It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: "O Nâfi'! The blood is boiling in me, find me a cupper, but let it be someone gentle if you can, not an old man or a young boy. For I heard the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ say: 'Cupping on an empty stomach is better, and in it there is healing and blessing, and it increases one's intellect and memory. So have yourselves cupped for the blessing of Allâh on Thursdays, and avoid cupping on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Have yourselves cupped on Mondays and Tuesdays, for that is the day on which Allāh relieved Ayyub of calamity, and He inflicted calamity upon him on a Wednesday, and leprosy and leucoderma only appear on Wednesdays, or on the night of Wednesday." (Da'if)

3487 - حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مَطَرٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُحَادَةَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: يَا نَافِعُ قَدْ تَبَيَّغَ بِيَ الدَّمُ فَالْتَمِسْ لِي حَجَّامًا وَاجْعَلْهُ رَفِيقًا، إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ، وَلَا تَجْعَلْهُ شَيْخًا كَبِيرًا، وَلَا صَبِيًّا صَغِيرًا، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «الْحِجَامَةُ عَلَى الرِّيقِ، أَمْثَلُ وَفِيهِ شِفَاءٌ، وَبَرَكَةٌ، وَتَزِيدُ فِي الْعَقْلِ، وَفِي الْحِفْظِ، فَاحْتَجِمُوا عَلَى بَرَكَةِ اللَّهِ، يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ وَاجْتَنِبُوا الْحِجَامَةَ، يَوْمَ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ، وَالْجُمُعَةِ، وَالسَّبْتِ، وَيَوْمَ الْأَحَدِ، تَحَرِّيًا وَاحْتَجِمُوا يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ، وَالثُّلَاثَاءِ، فَإِنَّهُ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي عَافَى اللَّهُ فِيهِ أَيُّوبَ مِنَ الْبَلَاءِ، وَضَرَبَهُ بِالْبَلَاءِ يَوْمَ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ، فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَبْدُو جُذَامٌ، وَلَا بَرَصٌ إِلَّا يَوْمَ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ، أَوْ لَيْلَةَ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ»
