حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ حَازِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ احْتَجَمَ ثَلَاثًا فِي الْأَخْدَعَيْنِ وَالْکَاهِلِ قَالَ مُعَمَّرٌ احْتَجَمْتُ فَذَهَبَ عَقْلِي حَتَّی کُنْتُ أُلَقَّنُ فَاتِحَةَ الْکِتَابِ فِي صَلَاتِي وَکَانَ احْتَجَمَ عَلَی هَامَتِهِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3860
Narrated Anas ibn Malik: The Prophet ﷺ had himself cupped three times in the veins at the sides of the neck and on the shoulder. Mamar said: I got myself cupped, and I lost my memory so much so that I was instructed Surat al-Fatihah by others in my prayer. He had himself cupped at the top of his head.
