It is narrated from Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I do not ride on urjuwan (a deep-red saddle cover), nor do I wear clothing dyed with safflower, nor do I wear a shirt hemmed with silk." And (the narrator) al-Hasan pointed to the collar of his shirt. And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Behold! The perfume of men is that which has a scent but no colour, and the perfume of women is that which has a colour but no scent." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it. For our shaykhs have differed over whether Hasan al-Basri heard from Imran bin Husayn, but most of them hold that he did hear from him.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: Nowadays, when I see the people in the mosque and the great number of tayalisah (shawls), I find them resembling the Jews of Khaybar. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it. And what is meant is dyed shawls, for they were the clothing of the Jews.
