Musnad Ahmad — Hadith #45051

Abdullah told us, Abu Ibrahim al-Tarjumani told me, Al-Faraj bin Fadala told us, on the authority of Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Amr bin Othman, May God be pleased with him, on the authority of his mother, Fatima bint Hussein, on the authority of Hussein, on the authority of his father, on the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, who said, “No.” Always look at the lepers, and when you speak to them, let there be the span of a spear between you and them.
