Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and submitted: Does your Lord also dye (give colour)? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes! A dye that does not fade: red, yellow and white.

He found the people at Malal before they had set off. When Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) saw him, he rebuked him and said "uff" to him, and said: Are you wearing safflower-dyed clothing, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has forbidden it?
