‘Arfajah bin As‘ad (may Allah be pleased with him) says: In the days of ignorance, during the battle of Kilab 1 (a battle), my nose was cut off. I made a nose of silver, but it began to smell bad, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ordered me to make a nose of gold 2. From this chain also, Abu Shahab narrates a similar hadith. Imam Tirmidhi says:
1- This hadith is Hasan Gharib,
2- We know it only from the narration of ‘Abdur Rahman bin Tarafah; Salim bin Zurair has also narrated a similar hadith from ‘Abdur Rahman bin Tarafah from Abu Shahab,
3- It is narrated from several of the people of knowledge that they fastened their teeth with (wires of) gold; in this hadith there is evidence for them,
4- ‘Abdur Rahman bin Mahdi said (instead of Salim bin Zurair) Salim bin Zareen; here he made a mistake, and Zurair is more correct. The name of the narrator Abu Sa‘id Sughani is Muhammad bin Maisar.
