Beginning of the Musnad of Ibn Abbas
Musnad Abi Ya'la 2551 — in a letter (to Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas, may Allah)
قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ: حَدَّثَنِي بِذَلِكَ مَنْ لَا أَتَّهِمُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ فِي كِتَابِهِ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الْعَبِيدِ هَلْ كَانُوا يَحْضُرُونَ الْحَرْبَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم؟ وَهَلْ كَانَ يَضْرِبُ لَهُمْ بِسَهْمٍ؟ وَعَنِ الْيَتِيمِ مَتَى يَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْيُتْمِ وَيَقَعُ حَقُّهُ فِي الْفَيْءِ؟ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّ «الْعَبِيدَ قَدْ كَانُوا يَحْضُرُونَ الْحَرْبَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَأَمَّا أَنْ يَضْرِبَ لَهُمْ بِسَهْمٍ فَلَا. وَقَدْ كَانَ يَرْضَخُ لَهُمْ. وَأَمَّا الْيَتِيمُ فَإِذَا احْتَلَمَ خَرَجَ مِنَ الْيُتْمِ وَوَقَعَ حَقُّهُ فِي الْفَيْءِ»
It is narrated from Yazid bin Hurmuz (may Allah have mercy on him) that in a letter (to Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both) it had been asked whether slaves took part in battles with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and whether he assigned them a regular share (of the spoils); and also when an orphan leaves the state of orphanhood and his right in the fay' wealth becomes established. The reply written to him was: "Slaves did attend battles with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), but as for assigning them a regular share, that was not done; however, he would give them something (from the spoils as a gift). As for the orphan, when he reaches puberty (ihtilam) he leaves orphanhood and his right in the fay' wealth becomes established."
