حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ حَبِيبٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا أُمَامَةَ ، يَقُولُ : " لَقَدْ فَتَحَ الْفُتُوحَ قَوْمٌ مَا كَانَتْ حِلْيَةُ سُيُوفِهِمُ الذَّهَبَ ، وَلَا الْفِضَّةَ إِنَّمَا كَانَتْ حِلْيَتُهُمُ الْعَلَابِيَّ ، وَالْآنُكَ وَالْحَدِيدَ " .
Narrated Abu Umama: Some people conquered many countries and their swords were decorated neither with gold nor silver, but they were decorated with leather, lead and iron.
