Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ قَالَ سُئِلَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ عَنْ كَسْبِ الْحَجَّامِ قَالَ احْتَجَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَجَمَهُ أَبُو طَيْبَةَ فَأَمَرَ لَهُ بِصَاعٍ مِنْ شَعِيرٍ وَكَلَّمَ مَوَالِيَهُ أَنْ يُخَفِّفُوا عَنْهُ مِنْ ضَرِيبَتِهِ وَقَالَ أَمْثَلُ مَا تَدَاوَيْتُمْ بِهِ الْحِجَامَةُ وَالْقُسْطُ الْبَحْرِيُّ.
English Translation
Yahya ibn Sa'id told us, from Humayd, who said: Anas ibn Malik was asked about the earnings of the cupper. He said: The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, was cupped by Abu Taybah, and he ordered that he be given a sa' of barley, and spoke to his masters to lighten his tax burden, and he said, "The best of what you treat yourselves with is cupping and sea costus."
