Shaykh Abdul Sattar al-Hammad
Hadith Commentary:
Hibrah refers to the striped green cloak that used to be manufactured in Yemen.
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) preferred this cloak because, firstly, it was sturdy, and secondly, its color was such that dirt was not easily noticeable on it.
Ibn Battal has written that these cloaks were made from cotton in Yemen, and among them, this was considered the finest garment.
It was called hibrah because it was used as an adornment.
