Musnad Abi Ya'la 2631 — he said: I myself wrote the letter

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى ، قَالَ : قُرِئَ عَلَى بِشْرٍ : أَخْبَرَكُمْ أَبُو يُوسُفَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ، وَالزُّهْرِيِّ ، وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : أَنَا كَتَبْتُ كِتَابَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ إِلَى نَجْدَةَ : كَتَبْتَ إِلَيَّ تَسْأَلُنِي عَنْ قَتْلِ الْوِلْدَانِ ؟ وَأَنَّ عَالِمَ مُوسَى قَتَلَ وَلِيدًا ؟ وَقَدْ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَنْ قَتْلِ الْوِلْدَانِ ، فَلَوْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ فِي الْوِلْدَانِ مَا كَانَ يَعْلَمُ عَالِمُ مُوسَى كَانَ ذَلِكَ .
وَكَتَبْتَ : أَنَّ النِّسَاءَ هَلْ كُنَّ يَحْضُرْنَ الْحَرْبَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، وَيُرْضَخُ لَهُنَّ ، وَلَا يُضْرَبُ لَهُنَّ بِسَهْمٍ بِالْفَيْءِ ؟ وَقَدْ كُنَّ يَحْضُرْنَ الْحَرْبَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَيُرْضَخُ لَهُنَّ ، وَلَا يُضْرَبُ لَهُنَّ بِسَهْمٍ .
زَادَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ فِي الْحَدِيثِ : وَكَتَبْتَ تَسْأَلُنِي عَنِ الْعَبِيدِ هَلْ كَانُوا يَحْضُرُونَ الْحَرْبَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، وَهَلْ كَانَ يَضْرِبُ لَهُمْ بِسَهْمٍ ؟ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ بِالْعَبِيدِ ، كَمَا كَتَبَ فِي النِّسَاءِ .
وَكَتَبْتَ تَسْأَلُنِي عَنِ الْيَتِيمِ مَتَى يَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْيُتْمِ ، فَإِذَا احْتَلَمَ خَرَجَ مِنَ الْيُتْمِ ، وَضُرِبَ لَهُمْ بِسَهْمٍ .
It is narrated from Yazid bin Hurmuz (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said: I myself wrote the letter of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) to Najdah, in which he wrote in reply: "You asked me about killing children, and (argued) that the scholar of Musa (peace be upon him) (al-Khidr) killed a boy; yet the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the killing of children. So if you come to know about children what the scholar of Musa (peace be upon him) knew, then do it (otherwise it is not permissible). And you wrote asking whether women used to take part in battle with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), whether they were given something from the spoils, and whether they had a fixed share. They did take part in battle with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and they were given something (from the spoils, as a gift), but no fixed share was allotted to them." Isma'il (the narrator) added in the hadith: "And you asked me about slaves: did they take part in battle with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and did they have a fixed share? So he wrote to him about the slaves just as he had written about the women. And you asked me about the orphan: when does he come out of orphanhood? When he reaches puberty he comes out of orphanhood, and (if they take part in battle) a share is allotted to them."
