Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ رَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، مِنْ آلِ الشَّرِيدِ يُقَالُ لَهُ عَمْرٌو عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ كَانَ فِي وَفْدِ ثَقِيفٍ رَجُلٌ مَجْذُومٌ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏ "‏ ارْجِعْ فَقَدْ بَايَعْنَاكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

ʿAmr ibn Rāfiʿ narrated to us: Hushaym narrated to us, from Yaʿlā ibn ʿAṭāʾ, from a man of the family of al-Sharīd named ʿAmr, from his father, who said: There was a man with leprosy among the delegation of Thaqīf. The Prophet sent word to him: ‘Go back, for we have already accepted your pledge of allegiance.’

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The report says the Prophet sent a message to the man (فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ), rather than describing him as meeting the delegation in person.
