Sunan Abi Dawud 2728 (Book 15, Hadith 252) #23018
Women in Battle with the Prophet

SUMMARY: Women participated in battle with the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) but were not given a share of the spoils.

Yazid bin Humruz said "Najdah Al Hururi wrote to Ibn 'Abbas asking him whether the women participated in battle along with the Apostle of Allaahﷺ and whether they were allotted a share from the spoils. I (Yazid bin Hurmuz) wrote a letter on behalf of Ibn 'Abbas to Najdah. They participated in the battle along with the Apostle of Allaahﷺ, but no portion (from the spoils) was allotted to them, they were given only a little of it.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ فَارِسٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، - يَعْنِي الْوَهْبِيَّ - حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ، وَالزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ، قَالَ كَتَبَ نَجْدَةُ الْحَرُورِيُّ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ النِّسَاءِ، هَلْ كُنَّ يَشْهَدْنَ الْحَرْبَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهَلْ كَانَ يُضْرَبُ لَهُنَّ بِسَهْمٍ قَالَ فَأَنَا كَتَبْتُ كِتَابَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ إِلَى نَجْدَةَ قَدْ كُنَّ يَحْضُرْنَ الْحَرْبَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَمَّا أَنْ يُضْرَبَ لَهُنَّ بِسَهْمٍ فَلاَ وَقَدْ كَانَ يُرْضَخُ لَهُنَّ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about women's participation in battle alongside the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It is reported that Yazid bin Humruz wrote to Najdah Al Hururi on behalf of Ibn 'Abbas to answer her question regarding whether or not women participated in battle with the Prophet. The answer was yes, they did participate but were not allotted a share from the spoils. Instead, they were only given a little bit of it. This hadith teaches us that even though women are capable and willing to fight for their faith and beliefs, they should be respected and honored for their contributions rather than being treated as second-class citizens. It also shows us that we should be generous towards those who have helped us achieve our goals regardless of gender or any other factor.
