Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 35902 — Taking women on campaign

Hashraj bin Ziyad (may Allah have mercy on him) reported from his grandmother that she, as one of six women, took part in the campaign of Khaybar with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) received word of it, so he sent for us and said: "By whose order have you come out?" We saw signs of anger on his face. We said: "O Messenger of Allah, we have joined the campaign and we have medicine with us with which we will treat the wounded, we will hand over arrows, give people barley-gruel mixed with water to drink, and spin hair into rope with which help will be given in the path of Allah." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to us: "Stay." Then when Khaybar was conquered, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave us a share just as he gave to the men.
