In al-Fatḥ (10/122), he said: “Aḥmad and al-Tirmidhī narrated it, and its narrators are trustworthy, but it is defective.” He was thus alluding to the concealment in transmission. As for al-Tirmidhī’s statement, “This is a good hadith,” perhaps this was on account of its corroborating reports, one of which is worded: “Whoever undergoes cupping on the seventeenth ...” It has already preceded under no. 622.

Al-Ṭayālisī (no. 2666) narrated the second part of the hadith. Ibn Mājah likewise narrated it (2/352), and it will come later.

I say: Its narrators are trustworthy, except for Sharīk, who had poor retention. However, it is corroborated by the hadith of ʿĀʾishah and others, attributed to the Prophet with the same wording. Al-Tirmidhī and others narrated it, and it is documented in al-Irwāʾ under hadith no. 1700.

Al-Bayhaqī narrated it in al-Sunan (7/82), through Abū Ṣāliḥ, ʿAbd Allāh ibn Ṣāliḥ,
