كَتَبَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا إِلَى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ ( عليه السلام ) يَشْكُو إِلَيْهِ دَماً وَ صَفْرَاءَ فَقَالَ إِذَا احْتَجَمْتُ هَاجَتِ الصَّفْرَاءُ وَ إِذَا أَخَّرْتُ الْحِجَامَةَ أَضَرَّنِي الدَّمُ فَمَا تَرَى فِي ذَلِكَ فَكَتَبَ ( عليه السلام ) احْتَجِمْ وَ كُلْ عَلَى أَثَرِ الْحِجَامَةِ سَمَكاً طَرِيّاً كَبَاباً قَالَ فَأَعَدْتُ عَلَيْهِ الْمَسْأَلَةَ بِعَيْنِهَا فَكَتَبَ ( عليه السلام ) احْتَجِمْ وَ كُلْ عَلَى أَثَرِ الْحِجَامَةِ سَمَكاً طَرِيّاً كَبَاباً بِمَاءٍ وَ مِلْحٍ قَالَ فَاسْتَعْمَلْتُ ذَلِكَ فَكُنْتُ فِي عَافِيَةٍ وَ صَارَ غِذَايَ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya said, ‘One of our companions wrote to Abu Muhammad<sup>asws</sup> complaining to him<sup>asws</sup> about blood and paleness saying, ‘When I get cupping done, it leads to paleness, and when I delay the cupping, so what is your<sup>asws</sup> view regarding that?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> wrote: ‘Get cupping done and eat upon the effects of cupping, fresh grilled fish’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So I re-iterated the same question to him<sup>asws</sup>, so he<sup>asws</sup> wrote: ‘Get cupping done, and eat upon the effects of the cupping, fresh grilled fish with water and salt. He (the narrator) said, ‘So I worked upon that, so I was upon good health and it became my (regular) intake’.
