Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39656 — The Battle of Khaybar

Hashraj bin Ziyad al-Ashja'i narrates from his paternal grandmother that she took part in the campaign with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the year of Khaybar, the sixth of six women. This reached the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a messenger to us and asked: "At whose bidding have you come out (on this campaign)?" We sensed anger in this question of his (peace and blessings be upon him), so we said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), we have come out (on the campaign) and we have medicines with us with which we shall give treatment. We shall hand over arrows, give sawiq to drink and spin hair, by which we shall help (the fighters) in the path of Allah." Upon this the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then stay (here)." Then when Allah Almighty granted him (peace and blessings be upon him) victory in the battle of Khaybar, he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave us a share just as he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the men a share.
