1. My father, may Allah grant him mercy, said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, from Ahmad bin Abi Abdillah, that he ascribed it to Abu Abdillah, Ja’far bin Muhammed, from his father, peace be upon them both, that he said
The Prophet, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, performed blood-letting in his head, between his shoulders and the back of the neck thrice. He named one as the beneficial, the other as the refuging and the third the saving.
أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن أحمد بن أبي عبد الله رفعه إلى أبي عبد الله جعفر بن محمد، عن أبيه عليهما السلام، قال
احتجم النبي صلى الله عليه وآله في رأسه وبين كتفيه و في قفاه ثلاثا، سمى واحدة " النافعة " والأخرى " المغيثة " والثالثة " المنقذة ".
