Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated: The Prophet (ﷺ) used to apply antimony kohl before sleeping, three times in each eye, and said: The best treatments are oral medicine, nasal drops, cupping, 1 and walking. The best kohl is antimony, for it sharpens vision and promotes hair growth. The best days for cupping are the 17th, 19th, and 21st. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was taken on the Night Journey, every group of angels he passed said: Use cupping .

(1) The statement: "cupping": In Al-Alamgiriyyah: Cupping is recommended for everyone. Thus, it is stated in Al-Zahiriyyah. Cupping after the middle of the month on Saturday is very good and beneficial, and it is disliked before the middle of the month. Thus, it is stated in Al-Fatawa al-Attabiyyah.
