It is narrated from Hazrat Yazid bin Hurmaz that Najdah wrote a letter to Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) and inquired about women, whether women used to participate in jihad with the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and whether they received a share from the spoils of war. Hazrat Yazid says that I wrote a letter to Najdah on behalf of Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that you have asked me: Did women participate in jihad with the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)? And was there a share for them in the spoils of war? In any case, they used to participate in jihad with the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and they were not given a separate share, but they were given something from it.

It is narrated from Hazrat Khalid bin Sihan that four or five women participated in jihad along with Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him), among whom was Umm Mujza’ah bint Thawr. She used to give water to the thirsty and bandage the wounded. They were given a share from the spoils of war.

It is narrated from Hazrat Sufyan bin Wahb that Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) distributed the spoils of war among the people.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that a pouch was brought to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he distributed it among free women and slave women. Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: My respected father would also distribute among the free and the slaves.
