Hijama Is From The SUNNAH

Dari Ashim bin Umar bin Qatadah RA, dia memberitahukan bahwa Jabir bin Abdullah RA pernah menjenguk al-Muqni’ RA, dia bercerita:

“Aku tidak sembuh sehingga aku berbekam, karena sesungguhnya aku pernah mendengar Rasulullah Saw. bersabda: ‘Sesungguhnya di dalamnya terkandung kesembuhan‘.”

(HR. Ahmad, Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Ya’la, al-Hakim, al-Baihaqi)

1) Why are we so confident that Hijama Cupping Therapy is very effective in helping people with various pains and ailments? 
Hijama Cupping Therapy was strongly recommended by the prophet Muhammad pbuh.
“If there is anything (that heals), then it is in Hijama Cupping, black cumin, a gulp of honey or branding with fire (cauterisation) that suits the ailments, but I don’t like to be cauterised.”
Recorded by Ibn Jarir and Al-Hakim in Al-Mutadrak
Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) said,
“Indeed the best of remedies you have is cupping (hijama)“

 [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (5371)]. 

  • Abu Hurairah (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) said, “If there was something excellent to be used as a remedy then it is cupping (hijama).”

[Saheeh Sunan abi Dawud (3857),Saheeh Sunan ibn Maajah (3476)]. 

  • Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger (Peace Be upon Him) said,

“I did not pass by an angel from the angels on the night journey except that they all said to me: Upon you is cupping (hijama), O Muhammad.” 

[Saheeh Sunan ibn Maajah (3477)].

  • In the narration reported by Abdullah ibn Mas’ud
