Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1202b
This hadith from Ibn Abbas is short but clear. It says that Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم got himself cupped, paid the cupper his charges, and put medicine in his nostrils. The main topic is cupping and treatment. The report also shows that the cupper’s work was paid for. The wording does not give a long legal discussion, and it does not list every type of treatment.
