Shu'bah (1): ‘Al-Hakam did not hear Miqsam’s hadith concerning cupping and fasting’”—meaning the hadith narrated by Shu'bah (2), from al-Hakam, from Miqsam, from Ibn 'Abbās, that the Prophet ﷺ underwent cupping while fasting and in a state of ritual consecration.
Muhannā said (3): “I also asked Ahmad about the hadith narrated by Habīb ibn al-Shahīd, from Maymūn ibn Mihrān, from Ibn 'Abbās, that the Prophet ﷺ underwent cupping while fasting and in a state of ritual consecration (4). He replied: ‘It is not authentic. Yahyā ibn Sa'īd rejected al-Ansārī’s narration of it (5). Maymūn ibn Mihrān narrated only about fifteen hadiths from Ibn 'Abbās.’”
Al-Athram said (6): “I heard Abū 'Abd Allāh mention this hadith and judge it weak.”
Muhannā said (7): “I asked Ahmad about the hadith narrated by Qabīsah, from Sufyān, from Hammād, from Sa'īd ibn Jubayr, from Ibn 'Abbās: ‘The Prophet ﷺ underwent cupping while fasting and in a state of ritual consecration’ (8).
