Ali bin al-Aqmar (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his father (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said: "I saw Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) in the open courtyard of Kufah offering a sword of his for sale and saying: 'Who will buy this sword of mine from me? By Allah! With this sword I have removed distress and anguish from the blessed face of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) many times, and if I had even the price of a waist-wrapper, I would never sell it.'"
No one narrated this hadith from Ali bin al-Aqmar (may Allah have mercy on him) except Sharik (may Allah have mercy on him), and no one narrated it from Sharik (may Allah have mercy on him) except Sulayman bin al-Hakam (may Allah have mercy on him), while al-Hasan bin Sinan (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in transmitting it.
