Anas was afflicted with leprosy on his feet. It is said that when `Ali, peace be upon him, made a call to witness the statement of the Prophet, blessings and salutations of Allah on him: ‘Of whomsoever I am master, `Ali is his master,’ he (Anas) made the excuse of forgetfulness so he (`Ali) said: "O Allah if he is lying, then strike him with a whiteness that the turban will not conceal." So he was afflicted with leprosy on his face, and after that he hung a veil over his face.
