It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) came on the day of the Battle of Uhud with his sword, which had become bent (from heavy use). He said to Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her): "Take this sword; it has proved most praiseworthy, and it has given me satisfaction today (against the enemy)." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you have struck well with your sword, then certainly Sahl bin Hunayf, Abu Dujanah, Asim bin Thabit bin Abi al-Aqlah and al-Harith bin al-Simmah have also performed excellently." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Bukhari, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it. And it has an authentic supporting narration (shahid) in al-Maghazi:

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) returned (from the battlefield), he gave his sword to his daughter Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) and said: "My dear daughter! Wash the blood off this." Then Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) also handed her his sword and said: Clean the blood off this too; by Allah! Today it served me fully in the fighting. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you have truly fulfilled the right of fighting today, then certainly Sahl bin Hunayf and Simak bin Kharashah Abu Dujanah have also truly fulfilled the right of fighting along with you."

Ibn Ishaq narrates that when Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) handed the sword to Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her), he recited these verses: "O Fatimah! Take this sword, which is not blameworthy; I am neither a coward nor mean-spirited. By my life! I have fulfilled the duty (of striving) in support of Ahmad (peace and blessings be upon him) and for the pleasure of the Lord who is most merciful to His servants."
