(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا قَيْسُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ ، قَالَ : كَتَبَ نَجْدَةُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ ، فَشَهِدْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ حِينَ قَرَأَ كِتَابَهُ ، وَحِينَ كَتَبَ جَوَابَهُ ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : " وَاللَّهِ لَوْلَا أَنْ أَرُدَّهُ عَنْ شَرٍّ يَقَعُ فِيهِ ، مَا كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ وَلَا نَعْمَةَ عَيْنٍ , قَالَ : فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ ، إِنَّكَ سَأَلْتَنِي عَنْ سَهْمِ ذَوِي الْقُرْبَى الَّذِي ذَكَرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : مَنْ هُمْ ؟ وَإِنَّا كُنَّا نُرَى قَرَابَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم هُمْ ، فَأَبَى ذَلِكَ عَلَيْنَا قَوْمُنَا , وَسَأَلَهُ عَنِ الْيَتِيمِ : مَتَى يَنْقَضِي يُتْمُهُ ؟ وَإِنَّهُ إِذَا بَلَغَ النِّكَاحَ ، وَأُونِسَ مِنْهُ رُشْدٌ ، دُفِعَ إِلَيْهِ مَالُهُ ، وَقَدْ انْقَضَى يُتْمُهُ , وَسَأَلَهُ : هَلْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْتُلُ مِنْ صِبْيَانِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ أَحَدًا ؟ فَقَالَ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَقْتُلْ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدًا , وَأَنْتَ فَلَا تَقْتُلْ ، إِلَّا أَنْ تَكُونَ تَعْلَمُ مَا عَلِمَ الْخَضِرُ مِنَ الْغُلَامِ الَّذِي قَتَلَهُ , وَسَأَلَهُ عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ وَالْعَبْدِ : هَلْ كَانَ لَهُمَا سَهْمٌ مَعْلُومٌ إِذَا حَضَرُوا الْبَأْسَ ؟ وَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ سَهْمٌ مَعْلُومٌ إِلَّا أَنْ يُحْذَيَا مِنْ غَنَائِمِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ " .
Yazid bin Hurmaz says: Once Najdah bin Amir wrote a letter to Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) and asked him some questions. When Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) was reading his letter and writing a reply, I was present there. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: By Allah! If I did not have to save him from the evil in which he could become involved, I would never please him by replying to him. In his reply, he wrote: You have asked me about the share of those of near kin (dhawi al-qurba) whom Allah has mentioned—who are they? Our opinion was that the close relatives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) are meant by this, but our people refused to accept this. You have asked about the orphan—when is the term 'orphan' removed from him? Remember! When he reaches the age of marriage and his understanding becomes apparent, then his wealth should be given to him, for now his orphanhood has ended. You have also asked whether the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ever killed any child of the polytheists? Remember! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not kill any of their children, and you should not kill anyone either. Yes, if you come to know about a child in the same way as Hazrat Khidr (peace be upon him) came to know about the child whom he killed, then that is a different matter (and this is not possible for you). You have also asked whether, if a woman and a slave participate in battle, do they have a fixed share in the spoils of war? They do not have a fixed share, but they should be given something from the spoils of war.
