The angels informing Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) to tell his ummah to do cupping
Question
Was our Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) instructed by the other prophets he met during me'raj to inform the people to do cupping?
Answer
It is reported in the Ahaadith that during the journey of Meraaj, when Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) passed by the various groups of angels, they told him to tell his ummah to do cupping as a treatment (on account of the abundant good in it).
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
