English translation

5164. It was narrated from 'Arfajah bin As'ad, that his nose was cut off at the battle of Al-Kulâb during the Jâhiliyyah, so he wore a nose made of silver, but it began to rot, so the Prophet ﷺ told him to wear a nose made of gold. (Hasan)

Arabic text

٥١٦١ - أَخْبَرَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَعْمَرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌حَبَّانُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌سَلْمُ بْنُ زُرَيْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ طَرَفَةَ عَنْ جَدِّهِ ‌عَرْفَجَةَ بْنِ أَسْعَدَ «أَنَّهُ أُصِيبَ أَنْفُهُ يَوْمَ الْكُلَابِ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، فَاتَّخَذَ أَنْفًا مِنْ وَرِقٍ، فَأَنْتَنَ عَلَيْهِ، فَأَمَرَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَتَّخِذَ أَنْفًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ».

Commentary

1. We learn that for men, the use of gold as adornment is forbidden; but it is permissible by way of necessity. 2. 'The Battle of Kulâb': The Kulâb was the name of a well or a spring. A fierce battle had taken place there, during the period of Ignorance.
