Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أَخْبَرَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبْدُوسٍ الْعَنَزِيُّ أنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الدَّارِمِيُّ ثنا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ثنا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ قَيْسًا يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ قَالَ كَتَبَ نَجْدَةُ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ فِي سُؤَالِهِ وَفِي جَوَابِهِ قَالَ وَسَأَلْتُ عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ وَالْعَبْدِ هَلْ كَانَ لَهُمَا سَهْمٌ مَعْلُومٌ إِذَا حَضَرَا الْبَأْسَ؟ قَالَ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمَا سَهْمٌ مَعْلُومٌ إِلَّا أَنْ يُحْذَيَا مِنْ غَنَائِمِ الْعَدُوِّ
English Translation
Ibn Abbas narrated that Najdah wrote to him asking about several things. He mentioned the hadith about his question and answer: 'You asked about women and slaves - whether they had a designated share when they were present in battle. They did not have a designated share, but they would be given (gifts) from the spoils of the enemy.'
