[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Escape from the leper as you would escape from a lion."  

أحمد:٩٧٢٢حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا النَّهَّاسُ عَنْ شَيْخٍ بِمَكَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِرَّ مِنَ الْمَجْذُومِ فِرَارَكَ مِنَ الْأَسَدِ
