What are the full descriptions of the Prophet's ﷺ cloak, "the Hadrami Yemeni burdah," as mentioned in the hadith?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, wore wool and did not adorn himself excessively in his clothing. He wore whatever was available, whether it was a wrap (shamlah), a striped cloak (burdah), or a woolen jubbah. The burdah is a striped garment, and a square black cloak with small patterns. The garment he loved most was the hibarah, which was a Yemeni cloak with red and white stripes. On Fridays, he would wear his red burdah, and on the two Eid festivals, he would wear a red cloak. He also wore a black woolen burdah. He also wore a nimrah, which is a striped cloak.
