(1) The statement: "The Negus sent to the Prophet a pair of black boots" etc.: It is stated in Al-Alamgiriyyah: Abu al-Qasim al-Saffar said: The red boot is the boot of Pharaoh, the white boot is the boot of Haman, and the black boot is the boot of scholars. I met twenty great jurists of Balkh, and none of them wore a white or red boot, nor did I hear of anyone keeping them. It is narrated that he (ﷺ) kept a black boot that was gifted to him, and he wore it. Thus, it is stated in Al-Qunya.
