Narrated 'Amr b. Suh'aib:
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.

Hisham b. al-Ghaz said:
The word mudarrajah mentioned in the previous tradition means a colour which is neither crimson nor pink.
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الْحِمْصِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، قَالَ قَالَ هِشَامٌ - يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْغَازِ - الْمُضَرَّجَةُ الَّتِي لَيْسَتْ بِمُشَبَّعَةٍ وَلاَ الْمُوَرَّدَةُ .

Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As:
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)".

A man wearing two red garments passed the Prophet ﷺ and gave him a greeting, but he did not respond to his greeting.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُزَابَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَنْصُورٍ - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ أَبِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ مَرَّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ عَلَيْهِ ثَوْبَانِ أَحْمَرَانِ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَيْهِ .

Narrated Rafi' ibn Khadij:
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.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ كَثِيرٍ - عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، مِنْ بَنِي حَارِثَةَ عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، قَالَ 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 .

Narrated Hurayth ibn al-Abajj as-Sulayhi:
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.
