Chapter 35 · The Chapter on Medicineحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُصَفَّى الْحِمْصِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عِصْمَةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ بْنُ عُمَرَ: يَا نَافِعُ، تَبَيَّغَ بِيَ الدَّمُ فَأْتِنِي بِحَجَّامٍ وَاجْعَلْهُ شَابًّا، وَلَا تَجْعَلْهُ شَيْخًا وَلَا صَبِيًّا، قَالَ: وَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: الْحِجَامَةُ عَلَى الرِّيقِ أَمْثَلُ، وَهِيَ تَزِيدُ فِي الْعَقْلِ، وَتَزِيدُ فِي الْحِفْظِ، وَتَزِيدُ الْحَافِظَ حِفْظًا، فَمَنْ كَانَ مُحْتَجِمًا فَيَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ عَلَى اسْمِ اللَّهِ، وَاجْتَنِبُوا الْحِجَامَةَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ، وَيَوْمَ السَّبْتِ، وَيَوْمَ الْأَحَدِ، وَاحْتَجِمُوا يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالثُّلَاثَاءِ، وَاجْتَنِبُوا الْحِجَامَةَ يَوْمَ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ، فَإِنَّهُ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي أُصِيبَ فِيهِ أَيُّوبُ بِالْبَلَاءِ، وَمَا يَبْدُو جُذَامٌ وَلَا بَرَصٌ، إِلَّا فِي يَوْمِ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ أَوْ لَيْلَةِ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ .

It was narrated that Nafi’ said: “Ibn ‘Umar said: ‘O Nafi’! The blood is boiling in me. Bring me a cupper and let him be a young man, not an old man or a boy.’ Ibn ‘Umar said: ‘I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: “Cupping on an empty stomach is better, and it increases one’s intellect and memory. And it increases the memory of one who has a good memory so whoever wants to be cupped, (let him do it) on a Thursday, in the Name of Allah. Avoid cupping on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Have yourselves cupped on Mondays and Tuesdays, and avoid cupping on Wednesdays, for that is the day on which the calamity befell Ayyub, and leprosy and leucoderma only appear on Wednesday or the night of Wednesday.”
