Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Sayyidah Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) submitted: "O Messenger of Allah, shall I set out with you to take part in the battle?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Umm Sulaym, jihad has not been made obligatory upon women." She submitted: "I will tend to the wounded, look after the spring and give water." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then that is fine." (Allamah Haythami says:) I say: A hadith from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) is mentioned in the "Sahih" and other books, but without this context.
Al-Tabarani recorded it from his teacher Ja'far bin Sulayman bin Hajib, and I do not know him. The remaining narrators of this report are thiqat (trustworthy).
