Abu Juhayfah reported: I came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, in Mecca while he was at al-Abtah in a red leather tent. Bilal came out with his leftover water from ablution, and some of them took it and rubbed themselves with it. The Prophet came out wearing a red mantle and I caught a glance at the skin of his shins.

Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Muslim
Imam Ibn al-Qayyim commented, “The red mantle is only two Yemeni cloaks woven with red and black stripes, like all other Yemeni cloaks. It is known by this name because of the red lines it contains. Otherwise, purely red clothing is strictly forbidden.”

عَنْ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَكَّةَ وَهُوَ بِالْأَبْطَحِ فِي قُبَّةٍ لَهُ حَمْرَاءَ مِنْ أَدَمٍ فَخَرَجَ بِلَالٌ بِوَضُوئِهِ فَمِنْ نَائِلٍ وَنَاضِحٍ فَخَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ حُلَّةٌ حَمْرَاءُ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى بَيَاضِ سَاقَيْهِ
503 صحيح مسلم كتاب الصلاة باب سترة المصلي
قَالَ ابْنُ القَيِّمِ وَإِنَّمَا الْحُلَّةُ الْحَمْرَاءُ بُرْدَانِ يَمَانِيَّانِ مَنْسُوجَانِ بِخُطُوطٍ حُمْرٍ مَعَ الْأَسْوَدِ كَسَائِرِ الْبُرُودِ الْيَمَنِيَّةِ وَهِيَ مَعْرُوفَةٌ بِهَذَا الِاسْمِ بِاعْتِبَارِ مَا فِيهَا مِنَ الْخُطُوطِ الْحُمْرِ وَإِلَّا فَالْأَحْمَرُ الْبَحْتُ مَنْهِيٌّ عَنْهُ أَشَدَّ النَّهْيِ
