1690. Tālib bin Hujair narrated from Hūd bin 'Abdullāh bin Sa'd, from his grandfather Mazidah, who said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ entered (Makkah) on the Day of the Conquest and there was gold and silver on his sword." Tālib said: "So I asked him about the silver and he said: 'The hand-guard of his sword was of silver.'" (Hasan) [Abū 'Eisā said:] There is something on this topic from Anas. This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb. Hūd's (great) grandfather's name is Mazidah Al-'Ašārī.
١٦٩٠ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ صُدْرَانَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الْبَصْرِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا طَالِبُ بْنُ حُجَيْرٍ ، عَنْ هُودِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ مَزِيدَةَ قَالَ: «دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ،» وَعَلَى سَيْفِهِ ذَهَبٌ وَفِضَّةٌ، قَالَ طَالِبٌ: فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْفِضَّةِ، فَقَالَ: كَانَتْ قَبِيعَةُ السَّيْفِ فِضَّةً وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَنَسٍ وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ. وَجَدُّ هُودٍ اسْمُهُ: مَزِيدَةُ الْعَصَرِيُّ.

In order to have a firm hold on the sword's hand-guard, the fighters generally had gold, silver or iron plaited on it. Muslims, however, generally had iron, leather or polish on it. Some of them even had silver towards the end of the hand-guards. (Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhī, v.3, p.27).
