It is stated in Hadith that whoever applies hijaamah (cupping) on Wednesday or on Saturday will be responsible for his conditions if he develops leucoderma.
One Muhaddese considered this Hadith as weak and went on to apply hijaamah on Saturday. He was afflicted with leucoderma immediately. Because of this, the Muhaddese became extremely worried and embarrassed.
On one auspicious night, the Muhaddese was blessed with the auspicious vision of the Beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) in a dream. In the dream, the Muhaddese narrated his conditions. At this, the Beloved Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) asked: “Why did not you follow the Hadith?” The Muhaddese replied: “The narrator of this Hadith was weak.” The Beloved Prophet of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) then asked: “But the question is did he not narrate the Hadith on my behalf?” At this, the Muhaddese replied: “I am very much ashamed and repentant for this. I ask for forgiveness.”
In the dream, the Beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) prayed for the recovery of the Muhaddese. Upon awakening, the Muhaddese found that he was completely cured.
This incident proves beyond doubt that a matter will be endowed with barakah only if the blessed name of the Beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) is associated with it.
