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.
