Riyad as-Salihin, 780
Bara' (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was of medium stature. I saw him wearing a red mantle. I have never seen anything more graceful than that. <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.
وعن البراء رضى الله عنه قال: كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم مربوعاً، ولقد رأيته في حلةٍ حمراء ما رأيت شيئاً قط أحسن منه.((متفق عليه))

<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br>
1) It is permissible to wear red clothing and pray while wearing it, provided it is not purely red.<br>
2) It is permissible to use red tents, for the Prophet’s tent was made of red skin.
