Hadith 437

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ سَلْمٍ الْعَلَوِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ‏:‏ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَلَّ مَا يُوَاجِهُ الرَّجُلَ بِشَيْءٍ يَكْرَهُهُ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمًا رَجُلٌ، وَعَلَيْهِ أَثَرُ صُفْرَةٍ، فَلَمَّا قَامَ قَالَ لأَصْحَابِهِ‏:‏ ”لَوْ غَيَّرَ، أَوْ نَزَعَ، هَذِهِ الصُّفْرَةَ‏.‏“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would very rarely directly confront someone face to face if he saw them involved in something impermissible. One day, a man came and there were traces of yellow color on him. When he left, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If he would change or remove that yellow (garment), it would be better."

Benefits and Issues:
This narration is weak; however, in other hadiths, it is prohibited for men to wear yellow and saffron-colored clothing. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said to Abdullah bin Amr:
((Inna hadhihi min thiyabi al-kuffar fala talbas-ha)) (Al-Sahihah by Al-Albani, Hadith: 1704)
"These are the clothes of the disbelievers, so do not wear them."
