It was the custom of the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, to name things. He named his sword "Dulfikkar" and its hilt was made from silver. The sword was liked those of the tribe of Hanifah who were famous for the sword making skills.
The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, possessed seven suits of armor all of which were given a name: Dhaatul Fadl, Dhaatul Hawaashi, Dhaatul Wishaah, Fiddah, Saghhdiyyah, Tabraa and Kharnag. At the time of the Prophet's death, Dhaatul Fadl was in pawn to a Jew.
At the Battle of Uhud, which was a very fierce battle, he wore two suits of armor, one on top of the other, they were those he named Dhaatul Fudl and Fiddah. He also wore a helmet.
