اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ فَارِسٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ يَعْنِي الْوَهْبِيَّ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِسْحَاق ، عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ، وَالزُّهْرِي عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ ، قَالَ : كَتَبَ نَجْدَةُ الْحَرُورِيُّ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ النِّسَاءِ هَلْ كُنَّ يَشْهَدْنَ الْحَرْبَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَهَلْ كَانَ يَضْرِبُ لَهُنَّ بِسَهْمٍ ؟ قَالَ : فَأَنَا كَتَبْتُ كِتَابَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ إِلَى نَجْدَةَ قَدْ كُنَّ يَحْضُرْنَ الْحَرْبَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَمَّا أَنْ يُضْرَبَ لَهُنَّ بِسَهْمٍ فَلَا وَقَدْ كَانَ يُرْضَخُ لَهُنَّ .
Yazid bin HUmruz said “Najdah Al Hururi wrote to Ibn Abbas asking him whether the women participated in battle along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and whether they were allotted a share from the spoils. I (Yazid bin Hurmuz) wrote a letter on behalf of Ibn Abbas to Najdah. They participated in the battle along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, but no portion (from the spoils) was allotted to them, they were given only a little of it.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊
There is no formal share in the spoils of war (ghanimah) for women and other servants.
However, due to their service, they should certainly be given a reasonable reward and honor.
➋
From this, it becomes clear that women did not participate as soldiers or combatants.
If that had been the case, they would have been given a full share from the spoils of war.
Their status was that of servants—
and even then, remaining behind the scenes.
➌
From this, the Western concept of absolute equality between men and women in every field of life is by no means established, as some Western-influenced individuals claim.
