English translation

2727. It was reported from Yazīd bin Hurmuz who said: "Najdah wrote to Ibn 'Abbās asking about such and such, and he mentioned some matters. He also asked about the slave; if they are entitled to any share of the spoils and also about the women; whether they used to go out (for battle) with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ? And are they, too, entitled to any share of the spoils? Ibn 'Abbās said: 'Had I not sensed indiscretion from him I would not have written to him. As for the slave he was given some of the spoils (as a reward), and as for the women they used to treat the wounded and supply water.'" (Sahih)

Arabic text

2727 - حَدَّثَنَا مَحْبُوبُ بْنُ مُوسَى أَبُو صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ الْفَزَارِيُّ، عَنْ زَائِدَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنِ الْمُخْتَارِ بْنِ صَيْفِيٍّ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ، قَالَ: كَتَبَ نَجْدَةُ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ كَذَا وَكَذَا، وَذَكَرَ أَشْيَاءَ وَعَنِ الْمَمْلُوكِ أَلَهُ فِي الْفَيْءِ شَيْءٌ؟ وَعَنِ النِّسَاءِ هَلْ كُنَّ يَخْرُجْنَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ وَهَلْ لَهُنَّ نَصِيبٌ "؟ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: «لَوْلَا أَنْ يَأْتِيَ أُحْمُوقَةً مَا كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ، أَمَّا الْمَمْلُوكُ فَكَانَ يُحْذَى، وَأَمَّا النِّسَاءُ فَقَدْ كُنَّ يُدَاوِينَ الْجَرْحَى وَيَسْقِينَ الْمَاءَ»
