“For just a single piece of red cloth, Allah revealed an entire Qur’anic verse!

The Prophet of Islam, Muhammad, saw a piece of red velvet women’s underwear (or a shawl) or a small garment among the spoils of jihad and became very fond of it! The allegation was that he secretly took it and kept it for himself. Although Allah had already allocated one‑fifth of all war booty specifically for him, many believe he still could not resist the temptation of this women’s garment and took it beforehand, because later hadiths mention that this garment was seen in his possession (https://hadithbd.com/hadith/link/?id=47759). That day, when some jihadist companions began to suspect him, he downloaded a Qur’anic verse to prove his innocence.

Muhammad liked that red velvet women’s underwear (or shawl) so much that Allah supposedly had to send the angel Jibreel to reveal divine revelation to humanity—just because of that one women’s garment.

Qur’anic verse (3:161) – Surah Aal‑Imran, Ayah 161
“وَمَا كَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ أَنْ يَغُلَّ”
“It is not possible for a prophet to act dishonestly.”

Since our believing brothers always insist on “context,” they may check the tafsir here – https://quran.com/bn/3:161/tafsirs/bn-tafsir-abu-bakr-zakaria

Although the tafsir translation tries to protect Islam’s honor by calling it a “shawl,” many critics of Islam say it was actually underwear—though of course underwear of that era did not look exactly like modern ones. There is a related sahih hadith that clarifies the reason this verse was revealed.

Sunan Abu Dawud 3971 or
Sunan Abu Dawud 30, Hadith 3960
Narrated by Abdullah ibn Abbas (ra.):
“The verse ‘A prophet cannot act dishonestly regarding the spoils’ was revealed concerning a red velvet women’s undergarment (or shawl). On the day of Badr, when it went missing, some Muslims said: ‘Perhaps the Messenger of Allah has taken it (stolen it).’ Then Allah revealed this verse (Surah Aal‑Imran 3:161): ‘A prophet cannot act dishonestly regarding the spoils’—to the end of the verse.”
(https://sunnah.com/abudawud:3971)

Muhammad even took that red velvet garment to his grave; when he was buried, that red velvet cloth was placed with him (https://sunnah.com/nasai:2012).
Red velvet akbar!

ثوب امرأة = “a woman’s personal, small garment”
Could this be a shawl, or was it women’s underwear? Consider Muhammad’s character and his fascination with women to understand what it might have been. Whether it was a shawl or undergarments, it belonged to a woman. And there is no doubt it belonged to some respectable woman. A woman’s personal garment—beyond that, Muhammad himself said red clothing is forbidden for men and only for women (https://hadithbd.com/hadith/link/?id=61434). So what does that imply? It was a women’s garment. Muhammad did not become attracted to it for no reason; perhaps he saw it or smelled it and felt sexual excitement. A man who, upon seeing a woman on the street, would run to his wives—regardless of their condition—and satisfy himself (https://hadithbd.com/hadith/link/?id=50381)—is it really unreasonable to think such thoughts?
