جامع ترمذی · Hadith 1297
Narrated Ibn Muhayyisah of Banu Harithah: From his father, that he sought permission from the Prophet (ﷺ) to take the wages for cupping and he (ﷺ) forbade him from it. He continued asking him and seeking his permission until he said: Use it to give fodder to your water-carrying camels, and to feed your slaves. [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Rafi' bin Khadij, Abu Juhaifah, Jabir, and As-Sa'ib bin Yazid. [Abu 'Eisa said:] The Hadith of Muhayyisah is a Hasan Sahih Hadith. This is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge. Ahmad said: If I am asked for something by cupper then I deny him, acting upon this Hadith.
