[1] HadIth No. 159 contradicts the IladIth of Al-Ijasan. Apparently the Muslim jurists have given various interpretations to discard this contradiction: Ash-Shâfi'i says, "Both Ahâdtth are correct, but the one narrated by Ibn 'Abbâs is stronger as regards its series of narrators; yet it is better to avoid cupping while observing auni (fast). But the verdict is to be taken from the JladIth of Ibn 'Abbâs. I have the knowledge that the Prophet's companions and their followers and all Muslim scholars think that cupping does not break one's Sawn (fast)." Ibn Hazm thinks that Al-Hasan's Hadith is invalidated by another authentic IjadIth narrated by Abü Sa'id which goes: "The Prophet (ﷺ) permitted cupping for a person observing Saum (fast)."
