Sahih al-Bukhari 5696 (Book 76, Hadith 18) #5469
Cupping & Sea Incense as Medicine

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ advised people to use cupping and sea incense as medicines, and not to torture their children by pressing the tonsils or palate with the finger.

Narrated Anas: that he was asked about the wages of the one who cups others. He said, 'Allah's Messenger was cupped by 'Abd Taiba, to whom he gave two Sa of food and interceded for him with his masters who consequently reduced what they used to charge him daily. Then the Prophet s said, "The best medicines you may treat yourselves with are cupping and sea incense'. He added, "You should not torture your children by treating tonsillitis by pressing the tonsils or the palate with the finger, but use incense".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُقَاتِلٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدٌ الطَّوِيلُ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ أَجْرِ الْحَجَّامِ، فَقَالَ احْتَجَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ حَجَمَهُ أَبُو طَيْبَةَ، وَأَعْطَاهُ صَاعَيْنِ مِنْ طَعَامٍ، وَكَلَّمَ مَوَالِيَهُ فَخَفَّفُوا عَنْهُ، وَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ أَمْثَلَ مَا تَدَاوَيْتُمْ بِهِ الْحِجَامَةُ وَالْقُسْطُ الْبَحْرِيُّ ‏"‏‏.‏ وَقَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ تُعَذِّبُوا صِبْيَانَكُمْ بِالْغَمْزِ مِنَ الْعُذْرَةِ، وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالْقُسْطِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Use cupping and sea incense as medicines

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how we should treat ourselves when we are sick. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) advised us to use cupping and sea incense as medicines, instead of torturing our children by pressing their tonsils or palate with our fingers. Cupping is a traditional medical practice in which a cup is placed on the skin to create suction in order to draw out toxins from the body. It has been used for centuries in many cultures around the world for healing purposes. Sea incense is an aromatic plant that has been used since ancient times for its medicinal properties, such as relieving pain and inflammation. Both of these treatments can be beneficial when used correctly, but it's important not to overdo them or cause harm while using them. The Prophet Muhammad also taught us that it's important not to hurt our children while trying to help them get better; instead, we should look for gentler methods of treatment that won't cause any pain or discomfort.
