Al-Kāfi|Volume 8|Book 1|Chapter 223
الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُمْهُورٍ عَنْ حُمْرَانَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) فِيمَ يَخْتَلِفُ النَّاسُ قُلْتُ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ الْحِجَامَةَ فِي يَوْمِ الثَّلَاثَاءِ أَصْلَحُ قَالَ فَقَالَ لِي وَ إِلَى مَا يَذْهَبُونَ فِي ذَلِكَ قُلْتُ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُ يَوْمُ الدَّمِ قَالَ فَقَالَ صَدَقُوا فَأَحْرَى أَنْ لَا يُهَيِّجُوهُ فِي يَوْمِهِ أَمَا عَلِمُوا أَنَّ فِي يَوْمِ الثَّلَاثَاءِ سَاعَةً مَنْ وَافَقَهَا لَمْ يَرْقَأْ دَمُهُ حَتَّى يَمُوتَ أَوْ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ.
223. Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moala Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Jamhour, from Humraan who said: Abu Abdullah عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘So in what do the people differ?’ I said, ‘They are alleging that the cupping (Al-Hajaamat) during the day of Tuesday is correct’. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said to me: ‘And to what (direction) are they going with regards to that?’ I said, ‘They are alleging that it is the day of the blood’. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘They are right. So it is more appropriate not to stir it in its day. But rather, know that during the day of Tuesday there is a particular time, if it coincides with it, his bleeding would not stop until he dies, or what Allah عز وجل so Desires’.
