Compiled by Imam Abu Dawud as-Sijistani
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُغِيرَةِ - عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، قَالَ قَالَ أَنَسٌ مَا كُنَّا نَدَعُ الْحِجَامَةَ لِلصَّائِمِ إِلاَّ كَرَاهِيَةَ الْجَهْدِ .
We would not allow a man who was fasting to get himself cupped due to abomination of hardship.
