(1) Abū Dāwūd (1160) and Ibn Mājah (1313); also reported by al-Hākim (1/295) and al-Bayhaqī (3/310), from Abū Hurayrah. Its transmission hinges on ‘Īsā ibn ‘Abd al-A‘lā ibn Abī Farwah. Al-Dhahabī states in Mīzān al-I‘tidāl (3/315): “He is scarcely known.” He then cites this hadith and says: “This is a fard munkar hadith (an isolated, objectionable report). Ibn al-Qattān said: ‘I do not know of this ‘Īsā being mentioned in any biographical work on narrators or in any other chain of transmission.’” See also Da‘īf Abī Dāwūd—al-Umm (10/17). (2) Al-Sunan wa-l-Ahkām by al-Diyā’ al-Maqdisī (2309, 2308). Ibn Khuzaymah reports it in his Sahīh (1766), from Jābir. In his edition, al-A‘zamī printed “jubba (robe)” in the text and stated that his manuscript read “al-j-l-h” (unvocalized). Yet the manuscript actually reads “hulla (outfit)” (fol. 195/a), as in Māhir al-Fahl’s edition. This is the correct reading, since Ibn Khuzaymah placed it under the heading “Chapter on the recommendation to wear outfits on Friday …”; he did not say “wearing robes”! Ibn Sa‘d also reports it in al-Tabaqāt (1/387), Abū al-Shaykh in Akhlāq al-Nabī (293), and al-Bayhaqī in al-Sunan al-Kubrā (3/247, 280) and Ma‘rifat al-Sunan (4/416). All give the wording “He used to wear his red mantle on the two Eids and on Friday,” or similar wording. Its chain contains ‘an‘ana by al-Hajjāj ibn Artāh—transmission using “from” without explicitly stating direct hearing. Al-Hāfiz judged its chain weak in al-Matālib al-‘Āliyah (4/709), and al-Albānī judged the hadith weak in al-Silsilah al-Da‘īfah (2455). (3) Reported by Ahmad (7109), Abū Dāwūd (4065, 4206), al-Tirmidhī (2812), and al-Nasā’ī in al-Mujtabā (1572, 5319) and al-Kubrā (1794, 9578), from Abū Rimthah al-Taymī. Its chain is authentic, and Ibn Hibbān classified the hadith as authentic (5995). (4) Reported from al-Barā’ by al-Bukhārī (3551, 5848, 5901) and Muslim (2337), and from Abū Juhayfah by al-Bukhārī (376) and Muslim (503), with the wording “a red outfit.”
