Some people believe that the Green color is the favourite color of Rasool صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and to back this claim they qoute this Narration that Qatada bin Da'aama رحمہ اللہ reported from Saydna Anas رضیﷲ عنه that he said:
كَانَ أَحَبَّ الْأَلْوَانِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْـخُضْرَةُ.
"Green was the most favourite color of Rasool صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم"
-(Al Moajjam Al Awsat Tabarani 6-39/8-81)
-(Musnad Ash shamiyeen (4/15)
The sanad of this narration is weak "Saeed bin basheer" is Daeef according to majority and Imam Bukhari (Tareekh ul kabeer 3/460), Zuafa As Sageer 132), Abu Zura'a (Az Zuafa 116) Abu Mas'har in (Al Maarifah wa Tareekh lil fasawi 2/124), Imam Nasai in (Az Zuafa 246) etc. made jarah on him and declared him zaeef
Haafiz ibn al Malkan رحمہ اللہ said اَلْـأَكْثَرُوْنَ عَلَى تَضْعِيْفِهِ, Majority of Mohaddiseen declared him Zaeef.
And Imam ibn hibban رحمہ اللہ made jarah mufassar on his Narration from Imam Qatada رحمہ اللہ
-(Al Majruheen 1/319)
Moreover, this narration is reported by two other narrators from Imam Qatada رحمہ اللہ and following are the details of it
1. (Abu Hatim suwayd bin Ibrahime al Jahdari al Atar 3/261)
But Suwayd bin Ibrahim is also zaeef according to majority of Mohaddiseen.
Allama Haythami رحمہ اللہ said: ضَعَّفَهُ الْـجُمْهُوْرُ Majority of Mohaddiseen declared him Zaeef
-(Majmoa al Zawaid 8/23)
Imam Ibn Adi رحمہ اللہ made jarah on his Narration from Imam Qatada رحمہ اللہ specifically
-(Al Kaamil fi Zuafa ar rijaal 4/489)
This narration has other errors too that this narration is narrated by Abu yaqoob Is'haq bin idrres aswari basri from Suwayd bin Ibrahim and to this Imam bukhari in (Tareekh ul kabeer 1/382, At tareekh al awsat 2/318), Abu Zura'a in (Al jarah wa tadeel 2/213), Nasak in (Az Zuafa Wal Matrukeen 46) Daraqutni in (Az Zuafa wal Matrukeen 89) etc made jarah on him.
Although Imam Yahya bin Maeen رحمہ اللہ said about him that یضع الحدیث۔ he used to fabricate narrations
-(Tareekh ibn Maeen 4213)
And also declared him کذاب Liar (4677)
And there is also a Jarah Mufassir that Imam Abu Zura'a رحمہ اللہ said:
Ishaq bin idrees narrated Munkar from Suwayd bin Ibrahim and Abu Muawiya.
-(Al jarah wa tadeel 2/213)
2. Abu bakr Salmi bin Abdullah al hazli al Basri
-(Shuab ul imaan lil Bayhaqi 8/342)
Abu bakr Al hazli is an extremely weak and Matrook narrator.
Imam Abu Zura'a, Abu Hatim, Imam Shuaba, Imam Yahya bin Saeed, Mohammad bin Jafar gandar (Al jarah wa tadeel la ibn Hatim 4/313) Imam Bukhari (Tareekh Kabir 4/198) Daraqutni (As sunan #120) Bazzaar (Kashf al astaar Lil Haythami 1/460), etc made jarah on him.
Imam Ibn Hibban رحمہ اللہ said: He reports fabricated narrations in the relation to Thiqa narrators
-(Al Majruheen 1/359)
Hafiz Shamsuddeen Zahbi رحمہ اللہ said:
There's an ijma (consensus) of Mohaddiseen that he's Zaeef
-(Deewan e Zuafa 4872)
