English translation
1686. Sa'd narrated: "When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ took the pledge of allegiance from women, a noble lady stood up — it appears she was from the women of (the tribe of) Muḍar. She said: 'O Prophet of Allāh, we are dependent on our fathers and sons'" — Abū Dāwud added: I think she said, "our husbands" as well — "so what is allowed for us (to take) from their wealth?" He replied: "The Raṭb — you may eat of it, and give it away." (Da'if)Abū Dāwud said: Raṭb (here) refers to bread, and greens and fresh dates.Abū Dāwud said: Ath-Thawri reported it similarly from Yūnus.
