(The flag of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him)
Hadith 3887
وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: كَانَتْ رَايَةُ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَوْدَاءَ وَلِوَاؤُهُ أبيضَ. رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ وَابْن مَاجَه
Ibn ‘Abbas said that the Prophet’s standard1 was black and his banner2 white. 1. Raya. 2. Liwa’. The standard was larger than the banner. Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah transmitted it.
