Hadith 1799

Abdullah bin `Amr bin Al-`As (Radhi Allahu Huma) said: The Prophet Sallalahu aleihi wa

saw me dressed in two saffron-coloured garments and asked,

"Has your mother commanded you to wear these?''

I asked him, "Shall I wash them out?'' He Sallalahu aleihi wa

replied,

"You had better set them to fire.''

Another narration is: "These are garments of the disbelievers. So do not wear them.'' [Muslim].

Commentary: Saffron and safflower are plants with a bright orange-yellow colour. Their use is forbidden because this colour is generally used by women and disbelievers, and men should show no resemblance to women and disbelievers in their dress.
