Narrated ‘Amr b. ash-Sharid told on his father’s authority that there was a man with tubercular leprosy in the deputation of Thaqif and the Prophet sent to him a message:
"We have taken your oath of allegiance, so go home."
Narrated Jabir told that he heard the Prophet say:
“There is no infection, no serpent in a hungry belly, and no ghoul.”*
Muslim transmitted it.
* I have used the English word derived from the Arabic ghul. It was used of a creature which was a type of jinni or devil which was believed to appear to people in various forms and lead them astray in the desert and cause their destruction.
