Sunan Abi Dawud
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ شُرَحْبِيلَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ شُفْعَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ، قَالَ رَآنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم - قَالَ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ اللُّؤْلُؤِيُّ أُرَاهُ - وَعَلَىَّ ثَوْبٌ مَصْبُوغٌ بِعُصْفُرٍ مُوَرَّدٍ فَقَالَ " مَا هَذَا " . فَانْطَلَقْتُ فَأَحْرَقْتُهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَا صَنَعْتَ بِثَوْبِكَ " . فَقُلْتُ أَحْرَقْتُهُ . قَالَ " أَفَلاَ كَسَوْتَهُ بَعْضَ أَهْلِكَ " . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ رَوَاهُ ثَوْرٌ عَنْ خَالِدٍ فَقَالَ مُوَرَّدٌ وَطَاوُسٌ قَالَ مُعَصْفَرٌ .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saw me. The version of AbuAli al-Lula' has: I think I wore a garment dyed with a reddish yellow colour. He asked: What is this? So I went and burnt it. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: What have you done with your garment? I replied: I burnt it. He said: Why did you not give it to one of your women to wear? Abu Dawud said: Thawr transmitted it from Khalid and said: "Pink (muwarrad)" while Tawus said: "Reddish yellow colour (mu'asfar)".
