Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) and Sayyiduna Buraydah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrate: The small flag of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was black and his large flag was white.
Abu Ya'la and al-Tabarani recorded it. Its chain contains Hayyan bin Ubaydullah. Al-Dhahabi said: Ibn Abi Hatim left his entry blank (recorded nothing about him), so he is majhul (unknown). The remaining narrators of Abu Ya'la are thiqat (trustworthy).
