Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حُصَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحُرِّ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُ
وَ يَحْتَجِمُ بِقَرْنٍ وَيُشْرَطُ بِطَرْفِ سِكِّينٍ فَدَخَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ شَمْخَ فَقَالَ لَهُ لِمَ تُمَكِّنُ ظَهْرَكَ أَوْ عُنُقَكَ مِنْ هَذَا يَفْعَلُ بِهَا مَا أَرَى فَقَالَ هَذَا الْحَجْمُ وَهُوَ مِنْ خَيْرِ مَا تَدَاوَيْتُمْ بِهِ

English Translation
‘Abd al-Ṣamad narrated to us, jarīr ibn Ḥāzim narrated to us, ‘Abd al-Malik ibn ‘Umayr narrated to us, from Ḥuṣayn ibn Abī al-Ḥurr, from Samurah ibn Jundub, who said: I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ having cupping performed with a horn-cup, with incisions made by the tip of a knife. A man from (the clan of) Shamkh entered and said to him: ‘Why do you allow your back — or your neck — to be subjected to this, doing to it what I see?’ He said: ‘This is cupping (ḥijmah), and it is among the best of treatments you use.’
