دَخَلْنَا عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ مَعَنَا فَرْقَدٌ الْحَجَّامُ فَقَالَ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنِّي أَعْمَلُ عَمَلًا وَ قَدْ سَأَلْتُ عَنْهُ غَيْرَ وَاحِدٍ وَ لَا اثْنَيْنِ فَزَعَمُوا أَنَّهُ عَمَلٌ مَكْرُوهٌ وَ أَنَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ عَنْهُ فَإِنْ كَانَ مَكْرُوهاً انْتَهَيْتُ عَنْهُ وَ عَمِلْتُ غَيْرَهُ مِنَ الْأَعْمَالِ فَإِنِّي مُنْتَهٍ فِي ذَلِكَ إِلَى قَوْلِكَ قَالَ وَ مَا هُوَ قَالَ حَجَّامٌ قَالَ كُلْ مِنْ كَسْبِكَ يَا ابْنَ أَخٍ وَ تَصَدَّقْ وَ حُجَّ مِنْهُ وَ تَزَوَّجْ فَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) قَدِ احْتَجَمَ وَ أَعْطَى الْأَجْرَ وَ لَوْ كَانَ حَرَاماً مَا أَعْطَاهُ قَالَ جَعَلَنِيَ اللَّهُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّ لِي تَيْساً أُكْرِيهِ فَمَا تَقُولُ فِي كَسْبِهِ فَقَالَ كُلْ كَسْبَهُ فَإِنَّهُ لَكَ حَلَالٌ وَ النَّاسُ يَكْرَهُونَهُ قَالَ حَنَانٌ قُلْتُ لِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ يَكْرَهُونَهُ وَ هُوَ حَلَالٌ قَالَ لِتَعْيِيرِ النَّاسِ بَعْضِهِمْ بَعْضاً .
Translation
Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Hanaan Bin Sadeyr who said, ‘We went over to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> and with us was Farqad the cupper, so he said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! I do a work and have asked someone else about it, and a second, so they are alleging that it is an abhorrent work, but I would love to ask you<sup>asws</sup> about it. So if it was abhorred, I shall refrain from it, and do something else from the works, for I would like to end it in accordance to your<sup>asws</sup> words’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘What is it?’ He said, ‘Cupping’. He<sup>asws</sup> said, ‘Eat from your earnings, O cousin, and give in charity, and perform Hajj from it, and marry, for the Prophet<sup>saww</sup> had cupping done and gave the recompense, and had it been Prohibited, he<sup>saww</sup> would not have given it’. He (the narrator) said, ‘May Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Make me to be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! I have a male goat which I hire out, so what are you<sup>asws</sup> saying regarding its earnings?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Eat its earnings for it is Permissible for you, and the people are disliking it’. Hanaan (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘For which thing are they disliking it and it is Permissible?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The people tend to reproach each other (for that work)’.
