Hadith -
Sahih Bukhari 7.599, Narrated Anas
that he was
asked about the wages of the one who cups others. He said, -Allah's
Apostle was cupped by Abd Taiba, to whom he gave two Sa of food and
interceded for him with his masters who consequently reduced what they
used to charge him daily. Then the Prophet said, 'The best
medicines you may treat yourselves with are cupping and sea incense.'
He added, 'You should not torture your children by treating tonsillitis
by pressing the tonsils or the palate with the finger, but use
incense.' "

heard the Prophet (sallallahu aleihi wa sallam) saying, "Treat with the

sniffed by one having throat trouble, and to be put into one side of
the mouth of one suffering from pleurisy." ... [Similar narration in

Dawud's wording is: "He ordered us to build the mosques in the
residential areas, to build them well, and to purify them. 'Abdullah would burn incense
