“The best of days that you should perform cupping are the 17th, 19th and 21st of the month. I did not pass a single gathering of angels on the night of Isrâ’ except that they would say to me, ‘O Muhammad, perform cupping!’” (Ahmad) 

 

“The most beloved of deeds according to Allah are the continuous ones, even if they are little.” (Bukhari)
