Sunan Ibn Majah 3488 (Book 31, Hadith 53) #32842
The Benefits of Cupping

SUMMARY: Cupping on an empty stomach is beneficial for one's intellect and memory, and should be done on Mondays and Tuesdays, avoiding Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

It was narrated that Nafi’ said: "Ibn 'Umar said: 'O Nafi’! The blood is boiling in me. Bring me a Cupper and let him be a young man, not an old man or a boy.’ Ibn 'Umar said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah say: "Cupping on an empty stomach is better, and it increases one’s intellect and memory. And it increases the memory of one who has a good memory so whoever wants to be cupped, (let him do it) on a Thursday, in the Name of Allah. Avoid cupping on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Have yourselves cupped on Mondays and Tuesdays, and avoid cupping on Wednesdays, for that is the day on which the calamity befell Ayyub, and leprosy and leucoderma only appear on Wednesday or the night of Wednesday".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُصَفَّى الْحِمْصِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عِصْمَةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يَا نَافِعُ تَبَيَّغَ بِيَ الدَّمُ فَأْتِنِي بِحَجَّامٍ وَاجْعَلْهُ شَابًّا وَلاَ تَجْعَلْهُ شَيْخًا وَلاَ صَبِيًّا ‏.‏ قَالَ وَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ الْحِجَامَةُ عَلَى الرِّيقِ أَمْثَلُ وَهِيَ تَزِيدُ فِي الْعَقْلِ وَتَزِيدُ فِي الْحِفْظِ وَتَزِيدُ الْحَافِظَ حِفْظًا فَمَنْ كَانَ مُحْتَجِمًا فَيَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ عَلَى اسْمِ اللَّهِ وَاجْتَنِبُوا الْحِجَامَةَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَيَوْمَ السَّبْتِ وَيَوْمَ الأَحَدِ وَاحْتَجِمُوا يَوْمَ الاِثْنَيْنِ وَالثُّلاَثَاءِ وَاجْتَنِبُوا الْحِجَامَةَ يَوْمَ الأَرْبِعَاءِ فَإِنَّهُ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي أُصِيبَ فِيهِ أَيُّوبُ بِالْبَلاَءِ وَمَا يَبْدُو جُذَامٌ وَلاَ بَرَصٌ إِلاَّ فِي يَوْمِ الأَرْبِعَاءِ أَوْ لَيْلَةِ الأَرْبِعَاءِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the benefits of cupping. It was narrated by Nafi who heard it from Ibn 'Umar who heard it from the Messenger of Allah. According to this hadith, cupping has many benefits such as increasing one's intellect and memory. It is best to have oneself cupped on an empty stomach on a Thursday in the Name of Allah. However, it is important to avoid having oneself cupped on Wednesdays as this was the day when Ayyub faced calamity. Additionally, leprosy or leucoderma only appear on Wednesday or during its night time so it is best to avoid having oneself cupped then too. Mondays and Tuesdays are ideal days for having oneself cupped while Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays should be avoided altogether for this purpose.
