«… بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ، قَالَ جُرِحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَكُسِرَتْ رَبَاعِيَتُهُ وَهُشِمَتِ الْبَيْضَةُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ فَكَانَتْ فَاطِمَةُ تَغْسِلُ الدَّمَ عَنْهُ وَعَلِيٌّ يَسْكُبُ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ بِالْمِجَنِّ فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ فَاطِمَةُ أَنَّ الْمَاءَ لاَ يَزِيدُ الدَّمَ إِلاَّ كَثْرَةً أَخَذَتْ قِطْعَةَ حَصِيرٍ فَأَحْرَقَتْهَا حَتَّى إِذَا صَارَ رَمَادًا أَلْزَمَتْهُ الْجُرْحَ فَاسْتَمْسَكَ الدَّمُ.»

Venesection, or bloodletting (al-fasd)

For Ibn Sina venesection is a general evacuation that relieves a plethora of the humours, one of the manual modes of treatment. The fourth fann of Book I gives it its own chapter, covering who may be bled and who should be spared, narrow and wide incisions, the six veins of the arm, and the danger of the artery lying under the basilic vein. The Canon treats cupping and leeches in the chapters that follow, so for Ibn Sina bloodletting is a different procedure from cupping.
