Hadith 7932

عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَصْبَغُ ثِيَابَهُ وَيَدَّهِنُ بِالزَّعْفَرَانِ قِيلَ لَهُ لِمَ تَصْبُغُ ثِيَابَكَ وَتَدَّهِنُ بِالزَّعْفَرَانِ قَالَ لِأَنِّي رَأَيْتُهُ أَحَبَّ الْأَصْبَاغِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَّهِنُ بِهِ وَيَصْبَغُ بِهِ ثِيَابَهُ
Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to dye his clothes with saffron and also apply saffron as oil. When he was asked why he dyed his clothes with saffron and used saffron as oil, he said: The reason is that I have seen that among all colors, the most beloved color to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was saffron, which he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to apply to his clothes and also use as oil.
