The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had himself cupped when he was fasting and wearing ihram (pilgrim garb).
Sunan Abi Dawud Book 14, Hadith 61
← Previous Hadith The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had himself cupped when he was fasting.

Abu Dawud said: Wuhaib b. Khalid narrated a similar tradition from Ayyub through a different chain of narrators. Ja'far b. Rabi'ah and Hisham, that is, Ibn Hassan, narrated a similar tradition from 'Ikrimah on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas.

Sunan Abi Dawud Book 14, Hadith 60 Next Hadith → A man from the Companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) told me that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prohibited cupping and perpetual fasting, but he had not made them unlawful showing mercy on his Companions. Thereupon he was asked: Messenger of Allah, you observe perpetual fast till dawn. He replied: I observe perpetual fast till dawn (for) my Lord gives me food and drink.
