Those who disliked safflower-dyed clothes for men

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw me while I was wearing a mu'asfar garment (a garment dyed yellow). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Take it off, for it is the garment of the disbelievers."

It is narrated from Abdullah bin Hunayn that he said: I heard Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) saying: the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade me, and I do not say that he forbade you, from wearing safflower-dyed (mu'asfar) garments.

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not wear a rose-red garment."

Amr bin Shu'ayb reports from his father, from his grandfather, that he said: We came with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) from the pass of Adhakhir, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) looked at me. At that time I was wearing a sheet dyed with safflower, somewhat stronger than rose colour. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What is this?" From this I recognised his (peace and blessings be upon him) dislike, so I went to my family. They were (at that time) heating their oven, so I threw the sheet into the oven. Then the next day I came to him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "O Abdullah, what happened to the sheet?" I told him (peace and blessings be upon him) about it, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Why did you not give that sheet to one of your family to wear? For there is no harm in it for women."
