المُحَمِّرَةٌ

Root: حمر

Full Definition

المُحَمِّرَةٌ A sect of the خُرَّمِيَّة, who opposed the مُبَيِّضَة and the مُسَوِّدَة: a single person thereof was called مُحَمِّرٌ: they made their ensigns red, in opposition to the مسوّدة of the Benoo-Háshim; and hence they were thus called, like as the حَرُورِيَّة were called المُبَيِّضَةُ because their ensigns in war were white.
