Sunan Ibn Majah 2166 (Book 12, Hadith 30) #31518
Spending Earnings Wisely

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ forbade a man from earning money through cupping and instead advised him to spend it on feeding his she-camels.

It was narrated from Haram bin Munayyisah that : his father asked the Prophet about the earnings of a Cupper and he forbade him from that. Then he mentioned his need and he said: "Spend it on feeding your she-camels that draw water".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا شَبَابَةُ بْنُ سَوَّارٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ حَرَامِ بْنِ مُحَيِّصَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ـ ـ عَنْ كَسْبِ الْحَجَّامِ فَنَهَاهُ عَنْهُ فَذَكَرَ لَهُ الْحَاجَةَ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ اعْلِفْهُ نَوَاضِحَكَ
