"عَنْ خَارجَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ دَعَاهُمْ لِغَدائِهِ فَهَابُوا وَكَانَ فِيهِمْ مُعَيْقِيبٌ وَكَانَ (بِهِ) جُذَامٌ فَأَكَلَ مُعَيْقِيبٌ مَعَهُمْ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ: خُذْ مِمَّا يَلِيكَ وَمِنْ شِقِّكَ، فَلُو كَانَ غَيْرُكَ مَا آكَلَنِى فِى صَحْفَةٍ وَلَكَانَ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنه قِيدُ رُمْحٍ".

"On the authority of Kharijah ibn Zayd, that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab invited them to his lunch, and they were reluctant. Among them was Mu'aqib, who had leprosy (with him). Mu'aqib ate with them. 'Umar said to him: Take from what is near you and from your side. Had it been anyone other than you, he would not have eaten with me from one dish, and there would have been the length of a spear between me and him."
