EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith narrates that the flag used by Prophet Muhammad was a black square made out of a fabric called Namirah. It has been narrated by several people including Yunus bin Ubaid and Ali ibn Abi Talib. This hadith teaches us to be proud and respectful towards our religious symbols as they are an important part in our faith and culture. It also shows us how Prophet Muhammad respected his followers by giving them an identity through this flag which would make them stand out from other tribes in Arabia at that time. Furthermore it teaches us to be humble as even though Prophet Muhammad was given such respect he still chose to use a simple black square for his flag instead of something more elaborate or expensive like gold or silver fabrics which were popular at that time among other tribes in Arabia.
