“Feed them to your working camel.”

Musnad Aḥmad 20
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُئِلَ عَنْ كَسْبِ الْحَجَّامِ، فَقَالَ: «اعْلِفْهُ نَاضِحَكَ.»

isnād meets the conditions of Muslim (al-Arnaʾūṭ, no. 14290).
Isnād and Rijāl: Imām Aḥmad ← Sufyān ibn ʿUyayna ← Abū al-Zubayr ← Jābir ibn ʿAbdillāh (same chain as Ḥadīth 19). Sufyān ibn ʿUyayna: thiqah ḥāfiẓ faqīh imām. Abū al-Zubayr: ṣadūq. Jābir ibn ʿAbdillāh: Companion. Takhrīj: Muslim, no. 1202; Abū Dāwūd, no. 3423; al-Tirmidhī, no. 1277; Ibn Mājah, no. 2165. Al-ḥajjām is the person who performs ḥijāma (wet cupping or bloodletting), a traditional medical practice. The Prophet’s (ﷺ) answer indicates two things: (1) the earnings of a cupper are lawful, for the Prophet (ﷺ) paid for cupping himself (see al-Bukhārī, no. 2102), and (2) some scholars believe the earnings are implied to be of a lower kind (i.e., not among the best of earnings), appropriate for animal fodder rather than noble uses. Scholars reconcile this with the permissibility of the earnings by understanding the statement as a mild discouragement rather than outright prohibition.
