Mishkat al-Masabih #3724
Jihad
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
قَالَ: كَانَتْ رَايَةُ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَوْدَاءَ وَلِوَاؤُهُ أبيضَ. رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ وَابْن مَاجَه
Ibn ‘Abbas said that the Prophet’s standard1 was black and his banner2 white.
1. Raya.
2. Liwa’. The standard was larger than the banner.
Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah transmitted it.
