Is it true that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to someone who drank his blood after cupping: "Prophethood has circulated within you"?
Shed blood is impure and prohibited by the Qur’an, Sunnah, and scholarly consensus.
There are narrations about some Companions drinking the blood of the Prophet, peace be upon him. The most authentic of these is the hadith of Abdullah ibn Al-Zubayr, in which it is mentioned that the Prophet, peace be upon him, did not approve of this in some narrations. Other hadiths are weak.
Scholars have differed in reconciling the impurity of blood with the Companions drinking the Prophet’s blood. Some have said that the purity of his noble blood was one of his unique characteristics.
