His nose was cut off at the battle of Al-Kulab during the Jahiliyyah, so he wore a nose made of silver, but it began to rot, so the Prophet [SAW] told him to wear a nose made of gold. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5161)  

ابن حبّان:٥٤٦٢أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَشْهَبِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ طَرَفَةَ عَنْ عَرْفَجَةَ بْنِ أَسْعَدَ جَدِّهِ

«أَنَّهُ أُصِيبَ أَنْفُهُ يَوْمَ الْكِلَابِ فَاتَّخَذَ أَنْفًا مِنْ وَرِقٍ فَأَنْتَنَ عَلَيْهِ فَأَمَرَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ يَتَّخِذَ أَنْفًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ»
