حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ هَاشِمِ بْنِ الْبَرِيدِ وَأَبُو سَعْدٍ الصَّغَانِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَشْهَبِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ طَرَفَةَ عَنْ عَرْفَجَةَ بْنِ أَسْعَدَ قَالَ أُصِيبَ أَنْفِي يَوْمَ الْکُلَابِ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَاتَّخَذْتُ أَنْفًا مِنْ وَرِقٍ فَأَنْتَنَ عَلَيَّ فَأَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ أَتَّخِذَ أَنْفًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 1770
Another chain with similar meaning. [Abu 'Eisa said: ] This Hadith is Hasan Gharib, we only know of it as a narration of 'Abdur-Rahman bin Tarafah. Salm bin Zarir reported similar to the narration of Abu Al-Ashhab from 'Abdur-Rahman bin Taraqah - from 'Abdur-Rahman bin Taraqah. It has been related about more than one of the people of knowledge that they would brace their teeth with gold, and in this Hadith there was a proof for them. 'Abdur-Rahman bin Mahdi said: Salm bin Zarin but that is an error, Zarir is more correct, and Abu Sa'd As-San'ani's (a narrator in this chain) name is Muhammad bin Muyassir.
