حَدَّثَنَا مَحْبُوبُ بْنُ مُوسَی أَبُو صَالِحٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَقَ الْفَزَارِيُّ عَنْ زَائِدَةَ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ الْمُخْتَارِ بْنِ صَيْفِيٍّ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ قَالَ کَتَبَ نَجْدَةُ إِلَی ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ کَذَا وَکَذَا وَذَکَرَ أَشْيَائَ وَعَنْ الْمَمْلُوکِ أَلَهُ فِي الْفَيْئِ شَيْئٌ وَعَنْ النِّسَائِ هَلْ کُنَّ يَخْرُجْنَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهَلْ لَهُنَّ نَصِيبٌ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ لَوْلَا أَنْ يَأْتِيَ أُحْمُوقَةً مَا کَتَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ أَمَّا الْمَمْلُوکُ فَکَانَ يُحْذَی وَأَمَّا النِّسَائُ فَقَدْ کُنَّ يُدَاوِينَ الْجَرْحَی وَيَسْقِينَ الْمَائَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2727
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: Yazid ibn Hurmuz said: Najdah wrote to Ibn Abbas asking him about such-and-such, and such-and-such, and he mentioned some things; he (asked) about a slave whether he would get something from the spoils; and he (asked) about women whether they used to go out (on expeditions) along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and whether they would be allotted a share, Ibn Abbas said: Had I not apprehended a folly, I would not have written (a reply) to him. As for the slave, he was given a little of the spoils (as a reward from the booty); as to the women, they would treat the wounded and supply water.
