Sahih Muslim 2077c (Book 37, Hadith 51) #12536
Burning Clothes Dyed in Saffron

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad saw Abdullah wearing two clothes dyed in saffron and asked him if his mother had ordered him to do so. When Abdullah said he would wash them, the Prophet told him to burn them instead.

'Abdullah b. 'Amr reported: Allah's Apostle saw me in two clothes dyed in saffron, whereupon he said: Has your mother ordered you to do so? And I said: I will wash them. He said: But burn them.
حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ رُشَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ الْمَوْصِلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الأَحْوَلِ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ رَأَى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَىَّ ثَوْبَيْنِ مُعَصْفَرَيْنِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَأُمُّكَ أَمَرَتْكَ بِهَذَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ أَغْسِلُهُمَا ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ بَلْ أَحْرِقْهُمَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of modesty and humility in dress. The Prophet Muhammad saw Abdullah wearing two clothes dyed in saffron and asked him if his mother had ordered him to do so. When Abdullah said he would wash them, the Prophet told him to burn them instead. This shows that it is important for Muslims to be modest when it comes to their clothing choices and not wear anything too flashy or extravagant as this can lead people away from focusing on Allah's teachings and towards vanity or prideful behavior. It also teaches us that we should always listen carefully to what our parents tell us as they are usually right when it comes to matters of morality and faithfulness.
