Sunan Abi Dawud 3423 (Book 24, Hadith 8) #23713
The Prophet's Acceptance of Cupping

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) got himself cupped and paid the Cupper, showing that he did not consider it impure.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The Messenger of Allah got him self cupped and gave the Cupper his wages. Had he considered it impure, he would not have given it (wage) to him.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ احْتَجَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَأَعْطَى الْحَجَّامَ أَجْرَهُ وَلَوْ عَلِمَهُ خَبِيثًا لَمْ يُعْطِهِ
