‘A’isha said ; The Prophet wore two coarse striped garments, and when he sat and sweated he felt them heavy. A certain Jew received a consignment of cloth from Syria, so I suggested he should send to him and buy two garments from him to be paid when circumstances were easier. He did so, and when the man replied, “I know what you want; all you want is to go off with my property,” God’s messenger said, “He has lied; he knows I am one of the most pious of them and most accustomed to pay what is given on trust.”
Tirmidhi and Nasa’i transmitted it.
Anas told that when the Prophet was ill he came out leaning on Usama, wearing a striped garment with an end over his left shoulder, and led them in the prayer.
It is transmitted in Sharh as-sunna.
God’s messenger saw me wearing a garment dyed with a reddish yellow dye and asked what this was, so as I recognised what he disliked I went away and burned it. He asked me what I had done with my garment, and when I told him I had burned it he said, “Why did you not give it to one of your family to wear, for there is no harm in it for women ?”
Abu Dawud transmitted it.
When I came to the Prophet he was wearing two green garments, his hair was turning grey, but the grey was dyed red.
Tirmidhi transmitted it; In a version by Abu Dawud it says he had hanging locks (These locks would hang down as far as the lobes of the ears) stained with henna.
