Shama'il al-Muhammadiya 329

Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says:
"A person who was wearing yellow coloured clothing was sitting by Messenger of Allah ﷺ. It was the habit of Messenger of Allah ﷺ not to bluntly express things he did not approve of. (Therefore he kept silent). When that person left, Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to those present 'It would have been better if you had told him not to wear yellow clothing'".

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَأَحَمْدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ هُوَ الضَّبِّيُّ، وَالْمَعْنَى وَاحِدٌ، قَالا: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ سَلْمٍ الْعَلَوِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ رَجُلٌ بِهِ أَثَرُ صُفْرَةٍ، قَالَ: وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، لا يكَادُ يُواجِهُ أَحَدًا بِشَيْءٍ يَكْرَهُهُ، فَلَمَّا قَامَ، قَالَ لِلْقَوْمِ: لَوْ قُلْتُمْ لَهُ يَدَعُ هَذِهِ الصُّفْرَةَ.
