(Khalili Collection of Hajj and the Arts of Pilgrimage).

[HISTORY]

Al-Nasir, the Abbasid Caliph, established the current practise of dressing the Kaaba with only one Kiswah at a time, superseding the former custom of allowing the old Kiswah to accumulate one over the other. When Al-Nasir performed Hajj in 160 AH, he saw that the weight of the accumulated Kiswah's could cause damage to the Kaaba itself, and therefore decreed that only one Kiswah should drape the Kaaba at any one time.

The Abbasid Caliph Al-Ma'mun, draped the Kaaba three times a year, each time with a different colour: red on the eighth of Dhu al-Hijjah, white gabati ( white from mountain stone) on the first of Rajab, and another red brocade on the twenty-ninth of Ramadan. Later on, Al-Nasir draped the Kaaba with green; both he and Al-Ma'mun disagreed on the frequent colour changes and switched to black, the only colour that has since been used for Kiswah.
