Sunan Abi Dawud 2729 (Book 15, Hadith 253) #23019
Women's Participation in Battle of Khaybar

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a group of women who went out to help in the battle of Khaybar. They were given a share from the spoils when Allah granted victory to the Prophet (PBUH).

Narrated Umm Ziyad: Hashraj ibn Ziyad reported on the authority of his grandmother that she went out with the Messenger of Allah for the battle of Khaybar. They were six in number including herself. (She said): When the Messenger of Allah was informed about it, he sent for us. We came to him, and found him angry. He said: With whom did you come out, and by whose permission did you come out? We said: Messenger of Allah, we have come out to spin the hair, by which we provide aid in the cause of Allah. We have medicine for the wounded, we hand arrows (to the fighters), and supply drink made of wheat or barley. He said: Stand up. When Allah bestowed victory of Khaybar on him, he allotted shares to us from spoils that he allotted to the men. He (Hashraj ibn Ziyad) said: I said to her: Grandmother, what was that? She replied: Dates.
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَغَيْرُهُ، أَخْبَرَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا رَافِعُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، حَدَّثَنِي حَشْرَجُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ أُمِّ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهَا خَرَجَتْ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فِي غَزْوَةِ خَيْبَرَ سَادِسَ سِتِّ نِسْوَةٍ فَبَلَغَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْنَا فَجِئْنَا فَرَأَيْنَا فِيهِ الْغَضَبَ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَعَ مَنْ خَرَجْتُنَّ وَبِإِذْنِ مَنْ خَرَجْتُنَّ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ خَرَجْنَا نَغْزِلُ الشَّعَرَ وَنُعِينُ بِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَمَعَنَا دَوَاءُ الْجَرْحَى وَنُنَاوِلُ السِّهَامَ وَنَسْقِي السَّوِيقَ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ قُمْنَ ‏"‏ حَتَّى إِذَا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ خَيْبَرَ أَسْهَمَ لَنَا كَمَا أَسْهَمَ لِلرِّجَالِ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا يَا جَدَّةُ وَمَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ قَالَتْ تَمْرًا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about how women can participate in battles and be rewarded for their efforts. Umm Ziyad and five other women went out with the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ to help in the battle of Khaybar. They provided aid by spinning hair, giving medicine to wounded fighters, handing arrows and supplying drinks made from wheat or barley. When Allah granted victory over Khaybar to the Prophet ﷺ he gave them a share from the spoils as reward for their efforts. This hadith teaches us that even though men are usually seen as warriors on battlefields, women can also contribute significantly towards achieving victory through their own unique skillset. It also shows us that no matter how small our contribution may seem it will be rewarded by Allah if it is done with sincerity and faithfulness.
