1278. Anas narrated: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was cupped; Abū Taibah did the cupping. So he ordered that he be given two Sā' of food, and he spoke to his masters to reduce his taxes. He said: 'The most virtuous of what you treat with is cupping.' Or, he said: 'The best of your treatements is cupping.'" (Sahih)
[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from 'Ali, Ibn 'Abbās, and Ibn 'Umar.
[Abū 'Eisā said:] The Hadīth of Anas is a Hasan Sahih Hadīth. Some of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, and others permitted paying the cupper. This is the view of Ash-Shāfi'i.
