Sayyiduna Rafi' bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We set out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on a journey, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw on our mounts saddle-cloths that had broad red threads in them. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do I not see that redness has overcome you?" The narrator said: At these words of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) we rose quickly, so much so that some of our camels bolted, and we took hold of the saddle-cloths and removed them from them.
