Blessed Dress, Turban, & Love for Fragrance

لِبَاسُهُ وَطِيبُهُ وَسَمْتُهُ الشَّرِيف ﷺ

“Wearing clean, dignified garments, white and green robes, a black or white turban, and loving pure fragrance (Itr).”

Classical Shama'il Narration

The Prophet's dress was simple, dignified, and clean. His favorite garment was the *Qamis* (tunic), and his favorite color was clean white. He also wore Yemeni striped robes (Hibarh) and green cloaks. On the Day of Fath Makkah, he entered wearing a black turban. He loved pleasant fragrance and never refused perfume (Itr or musk). Anas ibn Malik رضي الله عنه narrated: 'I never smelled ambergris, musk, or anything more fragrant than the natural fragrance of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, nor did I ever touch silk or brocade softer than his blessed palm.'
