ʿAwn ibn Abī Juḥayfah narrated from his father, who said: I came to the Prophet ﷺ at al-Abṭaḥ while he was in a red tent. He came out wearing a red suit, and it is as though I can still see the sheen of his shins. Its chain of transmission is sound.

Ḥafṣ ibn Ghiyāth narrated from Ḥajjāj, from Abū Jaʿfar, from Jābir ibn ʿAbd Allah, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to wear his red cloak on the two festivals and on Fridays. Hushaym transmitted it from Ḥajjāj, from Abū Jaʿfar Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī, but in mursal form.

ʿUbayd Allah ibn Iyād narrated from his father, from Abū Rimthah, who said: I saw the Prophet ﷺ wearing two green cloaks. Its chain of transmission is sound.
