Is this narration authentic?
Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “When the weather becomes extremely hot, seek aid in cupping (hijamah), do not allow your blood to rage (boil) such that it kills you.”
Answer:
Imam Hakim (rahimahullah) has recorded this Hadith on the authority of Sayyiduna Anas (radiyallahu ‘anhu).
(Mustadrak Hakim, vol. 4 pg. 212)
Imam Hakim has declared the Hadith authentic and ‘Allamah Dhahabi concurs.
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
