5380 - Flee from a leprous as you would flee from a lion

باب: الجُذام. 5380 - وقال عفَّان: حدثنا سليم بن حيَّان: حدثنا سعيد بن ميناء قال: سمعت أبا هريرة يقول:قال رسول الله ﷺ: (لا عدوى ولا طيَرة، ولا هامة ولا صفر، وفِرَّ من المجذوم كما تفرُّ من الأسد).

Chapter: Leprosy. 5380 - Affan said: Salim bin Hayyan told us: Saeed bin Mina told us, he said: I heard Abu Hurairah say: The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “There is neither infection nor pessimism, hamah: small bird, nor sfr:" a disease that causes yellowing of the face" Flee from a leper as you would flee from a lion.

 Al - Hamh

A small bird of the night birds frequents the graves, and the Arabs claim that it comes out of the dead's head and says: Water me, water me, until his revenge is taken

Al -sfr

Disease: the face turns yellow

From the meaning of the Hadiththe following:

And they used to say, “It rained with such-and-such,” but he, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, invalidated that because rain only occurs by God’s permission, not by the action of the planets, Although the custom occurred with the occurrence of rain at that time, but by the will and discretion of God Almighty, the planets are not made in that, and God knows best.

He cited the command to flee from the leper to prove the choice of the spouses to annul the marriage if one finds it with the other, which is the view of the majority of scholars.

In the hadeeth there are several inferences

1 - Not to be pessimistic about seeing some things or some events, and that a person’s infection is from some diseases - it is only the predestination of God first, because who got sick the first person to get sick?

2 - Fleeing from a leper - we can say that the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace, The first to call for the medical isolation of the patient so that it would not be a cause of disease transmission and the expansion of the disease cycle.

3- The hadith “Do not keep looking at the lepers, which is a reference to good cohabitation between people, whoever is afflicted with a contagious disease is not a moving demon, so it is necessary to take into account his feelings, for the matter is in the hands of God, may God heal everyone.

4 - The Prophet’s saying also - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him - “Do not refer a sick person to a healthy person” also refers to the medical isolation that doctors use to this day in global epidemics, this is an old epidemic that affects those who are exposed to a lot of treatment with lepers, may God heal everyone.

5- As it is said, an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cuf , fleeing from lepers is nothing more than keeping the disease from spreading, which is what the best doctors in the whole world call for. 

How do people get Hansen’s disease?

It is not known exactly how Hansen’s disease spreads between people. Scientists currently think it may happen when a person with Hansen’s disease coughs or sneezes, and a healthy person breathes in the droplets containing the bacteria. Prolonged, close contact with someone with untreated leprosy over many months is needed to catch the disease.

You cannot get leprosy from a casual contact with a person who has Hansen’s disease like:

Shaking hands or hugging

Sitting next to each other on the bus

Sitting together at a meal

Hansen’s disease is also not passed on from a mother to her unborn baby during pregnancy and it is also not spread through sexual contact.

Who Is at Risk?

Overall, the risk of getting Hansen’s disease for any adult around the world is very low. That’s because more than 95% of all people have natural immunity to the disease.

armadillo

In the southern United States, some armadillos are naturally infected with the bacteria that cause Hansen's disease.

You may be at risk for the disease if you live in a country where the disease is widespread. Countries that reported more than 1,000 new cases of Hansen’s disease to WHO between 2011 and 2015 are:

Africa: Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Mozambique, Nigeria, United Republic of Tanzania

Asia: Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Myanmar, Nepal, Philippines, Sri Lanka

Americas: Brazil

You may also be at risk if you are in prolonged close contact with people who have untreated Hansen’s disease. If they have not been treated, you could get the bacteria that cause Hansen’s disease. However, as soon as patients start treatment, they are no longer able to spread the disease.
