حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا احْتَجَمَ احْتَجَمَ فِي الْأَخْدَعَيْنِ قَالَ فَدَعَا غُلَامًا لِبَنِي بَيَاضَةَ فَحَجَمَهُ وَأَعْطَى الْحَجَّامَ أَجْرَهُ مُدًّا وَنِصْفًا قَالَ وَكَلَّمَ مَوَالِيَهُ فَحَطُّوا عَنْهُ نِصْفَ مُدٍّ وَكَانَ عَلَيْهِ مُدَّانِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2155
It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (RA) that when the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) was treated with cupping, he was treated in the two veins at the side of the neck. He called the slave of Banu Bayadah, who treated him with cupping, then he paid the cupper his fee, one and a half mudds. And he spoke to his masters, and they waived half a mudd, and he had to pay them two mudds.
