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.
