"Wash the Blood from this Sword"

Hazrat Ibn Abbas (ra) narrates, “When the Holy Prophet (sa) returned from the Battle of Uhud, he gave his sword to his daughter Fatimah (ra) and asked her to wash the blood from his sword. Hazrat Ali (ra) also handed his sword to her and said, ‘Wash the blood from this sword; by Allah, it assisted me greatly today!’ Upon this the Holy Prophet (sa) said, ‘If you have done justice in the battle today, then certainly Sahl bin Hunaif and Abu Dujanah did justice also.’”

In one narration, instead of Sahl bin Hunaif, the name of Harith bin Simmah is mentioned.
