2814. 'Abdullāh bin Hassān narrated that his grandmothers Ṣafīyah bint 'Ulaibah and Duhaibah bint 'Ulaibah narrated to him, from Qailah bint Makhramah - and they were her wet nurses and Qailah was the grandmother of their father - his mother's mother - she said: "We came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ" and she mentioned the Hadīth in its entirety; "until a man came when the sun had rose up, so he said: 'As-Salāmu 'Alaika O Messenger of
Allāh!’ So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘Wa ‘Alaikas-Salāmu Wa Rahmatullāh’ and upon him – meaning the Prophet ﷺ – were two tattered cloths, which had been dyed with saffron and had faded, and he had a small date-palm branch with him.” (Da’if)
We do not know of the Hadīth of Qailah except through the narration of ‘Abdullāh bin Hassān.

Commentary
Saffron is a fragrant flower, which is a compound of red and yellow colors; because the men are not allowed to use colorful fragrance, so he ﷺ wore a worn out cloth as its color had faded.
