On his father's authority, said that his grandfather said: We came down with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from a turning of a valley. He turned his attention to me and I was wearing a garment dyed with a reddish yellow dye. He asked: What is this garment over you? I recognised what he disliked. I then came to my family who were burning their oven. I threw it (the garment) in it and came to him the next day. He asked: Abdullah, what have you done with the garment? I informed him about it. He said: Why did you not give it to one of your family to wear, for there is no harm in it for women.
هَبَطْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ ثَنِيَّةٍ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَىَّ وَعَلَىَّ رَيْطَةٌ مُضَرَّجَةٌ بِالْعُصْفُرِ فَقَالَ مَا هَذِهِ الرَّيْطَةُ عَلَيْكَ فَعَرَفْتُ مَا كَرِهَ فَأَتَيْتُ أَهْلِي وَهُمْ يَسْجُرُونَ تَنُّورًا لَهُمْ فَقَذَفْتُهَا فِيهِ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ مِنَ الْغَدِ فَقَالَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ مَا فَعَلَتِ الرَّيْطَةُ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ أَلاَ كَسَوْتَهَا بَعْضَ أَهْلِكَ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ لِلنِّسَاءِ
The word mudarrajah mentioned in the previous tradition means a colour which is neither crimson nor pink.
هِشَامٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْغَازِ الْمُضَرَّجَةُ الَّتِي لَيْسَتْ بِمُشَبَّعَةٍ وَلاَ الْمُوَرَّدَةُ
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw me. The version of AbuAli al-Lula' has: I think I wore a garment dyed with a reddish yellow colour. He asked: What is this? So I went and burnt it. The Prophet ﷺ said: What have you done with your garment? I replied: I burnt it. He said: Why did you not give it to one of your women to wear? Abu Dawud said: Thawr transmitted it from Khalid and said: "Pink (muwarrad)" while Tawus said: "Reddish yellow colour (mu'asfar)".
رَآنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ اللُّؤْلُؤِيُّ أُرَاهُ وَعَلَىَّ ثَوْبٌ مَصْبُوغٌ بِعُصْفُرٍ مُوَرَّدٍ فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا فَانْطَلَقْتُ فَأَحْرَقْتُهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَا صَنَعْتَ بِثَوْبِكَ فَقُلْتُ أَحْرَقْتُهُ قَالَ أَفَلاَ كَسَوْتَهُ بَعْضَ أَهْلِكَ
A man wearing two red garments passed the Prophet ﷺ and gave him a greeting, but he did not respond to his greeting.
مَرَّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ عَلَيْهِ ثَوْبَانِ أَحْمَرَانِ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَيْهِ
We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey, and we had on our saddles and camels garments consisting of red warp of wool. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Do I not see that red colour has dominated you. We then got up quickly on account of this saying of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and some of our camels ran away. We then took the garments and withdrew them.
خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ فَرَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى رَوَاحِلِنَا وَعَلَى إِبِلِنَا أَكْسِيَةً فِيهَا خُيُوطُ عِهْنٍ حُمْرٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَلاَ أَرَى هَذِهِ الْحُمْرَةَ قَدْ عَلَتْكُمْ فَقُمْنَا سِرَاعًا لِقَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى نَفَرَ بَعْضُ إِبِلِنَا فَأَخَذْنَا الأَكْسِيَةَ فَنَزَعْنَاهَا عَنْهَا
That a woman of Banu Asad: One day I was with Zaynab, the wife of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and we were dyeing her clothes with red ochre. In the meantime the Messenger of Allah ﷺ peeped us. When he saw the red ochre, he returned. When Zaynab saw this, she realised that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ disapproved of what she had done. She then took and washed her clothes and concealed all redness. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then returned and peeped, and when he did not see anything, he entered.
كُنْتُ يَوْمًا عِنْدَ زَيْنَبَ امْرَأَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ نَصْبُغُ ثِيَابًا لَهَا بِمَغْرَةٍ فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ طَلَعَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا رَأَى الْمَغْرَةَ رَجَعَ فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ ذَلِكَ زَيْنَبُ عَلِمَتْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ كَرِهَ مَا فَعَلَتْ فَأَخَذَتْ فَغَسَلَتْ ثِيَابَهَا وَوَارَتْ كُلَّ حُمْرَةٍ ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَجَعَ فَاطَّلَعَ فَلَمَّا لَمْ يَرَ شَيْئًا دَخَلَ
