3544. It was narrated from a man from the family of Sharid whose name was 'Amr, that his father said: "There was a leper among the delegation of Thaqif. The Prophet ﷺ sent word to him: 'Go back, for we have accepted your oath of allegiance.'" (Sahih)

Arabic text

3544 - حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ رَافِعٍ قَالَ: 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 صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «ارْجِعْ فَقَدْ بَايَعْنَاكَ»

Commentary

A leprosy person should keep himself away from normal people to avoid causing any trouble to them. An oath of allegiance (giving pledge) is a kind of promise, shaking the hand in this procedure is only to confirm that promise. It could be held even without shaking the hands, as the Prophet ﷺ used to take the pledge from women without shaking their hands. (Sahih Al-Bukhârī:7214)
