Musnad Abi Ya'la 2630 — Najdah wrote to him asking: Does a slave have
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى قَالَ قُرِئَ عَلَى بِشْرِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ أَخْبَرَكُمْ أَبُو يُوسُفَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ : كَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ نَجْدَةُ يَسْأَلُهُ : هَلْ لِلْعَبْدِ مِنَ الْمَغْنَمِ سَهْمٌ ؟ وَهَلْ كُنَّ النِّسَاءُ يَحْضُرْنَ الْحَرْبَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ؟ وَمَتَى يَجِبُ لِلصَّبِيِّ السَّهْمُ فِي الْمَغْنَمِ ؟ وَعَنْ سَهْمِ ذَوِي الْقُرْبَى ؟ قَالَ : فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُ لَا حَقَّ لِلْعَبْدِ فِي الْمَغْنَمِ وَلَكِنْ يُرْضَخُ لَهُ ، وَكَتَبَ أَنَّ النِّسَاءَ كُنَّ يَخْرُجْنَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يُدَاوِينَ الْجَرْحَى ، وَأَنَّهُ يُرْضَخُ لَهُنَّ ، وَأَنَّهُ لَا حَقَّ لِلصَّبِيِّ فِي الْمَغْنَمِ حَتَّى يَحْتَلِمَ ، وَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ فِي سَهْمِ ذَوِي الْقُرْبَى أَنَّ عُمَرَ عَرَضَ عَلَيْنَا أَنْ يُزَوِّجَ مِنْهُ أَيِّمَنَا ، وَيَقْضِيَ مِنْهُ عَنْ مَغْرَمِنَا ، فَأَبَيْنَا ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا أَنْ يُسَلِّمَهُ كُلَّهُ ، وَأَبَى ذَلِكَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Najdah wrote to him asking: Does a slave have a fixed share of the spoils of war? Did women take part in battle with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? When does a share in the spoils become due for a boy? He also asked about the share of the near relatives (dhawi al-qurba). Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) wrote back to him: "A slave has no (fixed) right in the spoils, but he is given something (as a gift); and he also wrote that women used to go out with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (on campaigns), treating the wounded, and that they too were given something; and that a boy has no right in the spoils until he reaches puberty; and he wrote to him about the share of the near relatives that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) had offered us that he would use this wealth to arrange the marriages of our widows and to pay off our debts, but we refused to accept that, our demand being that he hand over the entire share to us; but he refused that."
