The police say 5kg of explosives along with a detonator and two pistols were found between Mr Musharraf's house and the National Library, where the hearing is taking place.
The special court hearing on treason charges against the former president will now take place on 1 January.
The charges relate to his decision in 2007 to suspend the constitution and impose emergency rule.
Mr Musharraf, who is on bail in several other cases, says all the accusations against him are politically motivated.
The 70-year-old also faces separate charges of murder and restricting the judiciary.
