قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِذَا بَلَغَ الصَّبِيُّ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ فَاحْجُمْهُ فِي كُلِّ شَهْرٍ فِي النُّقْرَةِ فَإِنَّهَا تُجَفِّفُ لُعَابَهُ وَ تُهْبِطُ الْحَرَارَةَ مِنْ رَأْسِهِ وَ جَسَدِهِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Abdullah Bin Jundab, from Sufyan Bin Al Samat who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘When the child reaches four months, so perform cupping during every month in the fovea (back), for it would dry up his (excess) saliva), and lower his heat from his head, and his body’.
