Yazid bin Hurmaz (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Najdah wrote a letter to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with both of them) and asked him about various issues. Yazid (may Allah have mercy on him) says: When Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with both of them) read his letter and wrote a reply to him, I was present with him at that time. He said: You have asked me about women and slaves, that if they participate in battle, is a share (of the spoils) fixed for them? There was no fixed share for either of them; they were only given some gift from the spoils of the people.
