Musnad Ahmad 1136 (Book 5, Hadith 552) #34778
Kindness to Cupper

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was treated with cupping and showed kindness to the Cupper by waiving one sa of his payment.

It was narrated that Abu Jameelah at-Tuhawi said: I heard 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) say: The Messenger of Allah was treated with cupping, then he said to the Cupper when he was finished: How much do you pay to your masters? He said: Two Sa's. He ordered that one sa’ be waived, and he told me to give him one sa’.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، و حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ، قَالَ و حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَكِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ أَبِي جَنَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي جَمِيلَةَ الطُّهَوِيِّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ احْتَجَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْحَجَّامِ حِينَ فَرَغَ كَمْ خَرَاجُكَ قَالَ صَاعَانِ فَوَضَعَ عَنْهُ صَاعًا وَأَمَرَنِي فَأَعْطَيْتُهُ صَاعًا‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) kindness towards a cupper who treated him with al-hijamah. Al-hijamah is an ancient form of medical treatment that involves making small incisions in the skin and then using cups to draw out blood from those incisions. In this hadith, Abu Jameelah at-Tuhawi narrates that when the cupper finished treating the Prophet, he asked how much he paid his masters for learning this skill. The cupper replied two sa's, which is a unit of measurement used in Arabia during that time period. The Prophet then ordered one sa be waived and told Abu Jameelah to give him one sa as payment for his services. This hadith teaches us about the importance of showing kindness and generosity towards others, even if they are providing us with a service or product we need or want. It also shows us how important it is to be mindful of our spending habits and not overpay for something if it isn't necessary.
