حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ وعَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ قَالَ
كَتَبَ نَجْدَةُ الْحَرُورِيُّ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ قَتْلِ الْوِلْدَانِ، وَهَلْ كُنَّ النِّسَاءُ يَحْضُرْنَ الْحَرْبَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ؟ وَهَلْ كَانَ يَضْرِبُ لَهُنَّ بِسَهْمٍ ؟ قَالَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ هُرْمُزَ: فَأَنَا كَتَبْتُ كِتَابَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ إِلَى نَجْدَةَ، كَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ: كَتَبْتَ تَسْأَلُنِي عَنْ قَتْلِ الْوِلْدَانِ، وَتَقُولُ: إِنَّ الْعَالِمَ صَاحِبَ مُوسَى قَدْ قَتَلَ الْغُلَامَ ! فَلَوْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ مِنَ الْوِلْدَانِ مِثْلَ مَا كَانَ يَعْلَمُ ذَلِكَ الْعَالِمُ قَتَلْتَ، وَلَكِنَّكَ لَا تَعْلَمُ، فَاجْتَنِبْهُمْ؛ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ نَهَى عَنْ قَتْلِهِمْ، وَكَتَبْتَ تَسْأَلُنِي عَنِ النِّسَاءِ هَلْ كُنَّ يَحْضُرْنَ الْحَرْبَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ؟ وَهَلْ كَانَ يَضْرِبُ لَهُنَّ بِسَهْمٍ ؟ وَقَدْ كُنَّ يَحْضُرْنَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَأَمَّا أَنْ يَضْرِبَ لَهُنَّ بِسَهْمٍ فَلَمْ يَفْعَلْ، وَقَدْ كَانَ يَرْضَخُ لَهُنَّ

✧ Najdah al-Haruri wrote to Ibn 'Abbas asking him about killing children, whether women used to attend war with the Prophet ﷺ, and whether he allotted a share for them. Yazid b. Hurmuz said: I wrote Ibn 'Abbas's letter to Najdah. He wrote to him: You wrote asking me about killing children, and you say that the learned companion of Musa killed a boy. If you knew of children what that learned man knew, you would kill; but you do not know, so avoid them, for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade killing them. You wrote asking me about women, whether they used to attend war with the Prophet ﷺ and whether he allotted a share for them. They did attend with the Prophet ﷺ, but as for allotting a share for them, he did not do that; however, he gave them a small portion.
