Narrated Anas:
that he was asked about the wages of the one who cups others. He said, 'Allah's Apostle was
cupped by Abd Taiba, to whom he gave two Sa of food and interceded for him with his masters who
consequently reduced what they used to charge him daily. Then the Prophet s said, "The best medi –
cines you may treat yourselves with are cupping and sea incense.' He added, "You should not torture
your children by treating tonsillitis by pressing the tonsils or the palate with the finger, but use in –
cense."
