Sayyiduna Sahl bin Hunayf (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her); this was after the Battle of Uhud. He said: "Hold this sword of mine! I have struck well with it today." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you have fought well, then Asim bin Thabit, Sahl bin Hunayf and al-Harith bin al-Simmah have also fought well."
Al-Tabarani recorded it. Its chain contains Ayyub bin Abi Umamah; al-Azdi says: "He is munkar al-hadith (his narrations are rejected)."
