حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عِيسَى حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَصْبُغُ ثِيَابَهُ وَيَدَّهِنُ بِالزَّعْفَرَانِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ لِمَ تَصْبُغُ ثِيَابَكَ وَتَدَّهِنُ بِالزَّعْفَرَانِ قَالَ لِأَنِّي رَأَيْتُهُ أَحَبَّ الْأَصْبَاغِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَّهِنُ بِهِ وَيَصْبُغُ بِهِ ثِيَابَهُ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 5717
It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that he used to dye his garment with saffron and apply saffron to his body. It was said to him: Why do you dye your garment with saffron and apply it to your body? He said: Because it was the most liked of dyes to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) he would apply it to his body and dye his garment with it.
