Shama'il al-Muhammadiya, Book of Hajaamah (Cupping-Cautering) Of Prophet of Allah ﷺ
Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked regarding the payment to a hajjaam (cupper). (Is it permissible or not?) Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) replied:
"Messenger of Allah ﷺ took the treatment of cupping which was administered by Abu Taybah (may Allah be pleased with him), he was given two saa' food (in a narration it is mentioned that dates were given), and Messenger of Allah ﷺ interceded on his behalf to his master that the stipulated amount he was responsible for be made less. He also said this, that cupping is the best of medicine".
