Sayyiduna Shuraid bin Suwaid Thaqafi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a leprous man from Banu Thaqif came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to pledge allegiance to him. I went to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said that a man afflicted with leprosy wishes to pledge allegiance to you. He said: Go to him and tell him that I have accepted his pledge; he may return from there.
