2728. Yazīd bin Hurmuz said: "Najdah Al-Ḥarūrī wrote to Ibn 'Abbās asking about whether women used to participate in battles with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and whether he used to allot them a share of the spoils." He (Yazīd) said: "I wrote a letter (of reply) on behalf of Ibn 'Abbās to Najdah: 'They used to participate in the battles with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, but no specified portion was given to them. They were given only a small gift.'"[1] (Sahih)
2728 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ فَارِسٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ يَعْنِي الْوَهْبِيَّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ، وَالزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ، قَالَ: كَتَبَ نَجْدَةُ الْحَرُورِيُّ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ النِّسَاءِ هَلْ كُنَّ يَشْهَدْنَ الْحَرْبَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ وَهَلْ كَانَ يَضْرِبُ لَهُنَّ بِسَهْمٍ؟ قَالَ: فَأَنَا كَتَبْتُ كِتَابَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ إِلَى نَجْدَةَ: «قَدْ كُنَّ يَحْضُرْنَ الْحَرْبَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَمَّا أَنْ يُضْرَبَ لَهُنَّ بِسَهْمٍ فَلَا، وَقَدْ كَانَ يُرْضَخُ لَهُنَّ»

There is no share stipulated as such for women and other helpers in the spoils. They may, however, be given appropriate rewards etc.
