The presence of women at Khaybar and the account of the Ghifārī woman
[ شُهُودُ النِّسَاءِ خَيْبَرَ وَحَدِيثُ الْمَرْأَةِ الْغِفَارِيَّةِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَشَهِدَ خَيْبَرَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ نِسَاءٌ مِنْ نِسَاءِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، فَرَضَخَ لَهُنَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ الْفَيْءِ، وَلَمْ يَضْرِبْ لَهُنَّ بِسَهْمٍ. قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: حَدَّثَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ سُحَيْمٍ، عَنْ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ أَبِي الصَّلْتِ، عَنْ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ بَنِي غِفَارٍ، قَدْ سَمَّاهَا لِي، قَالَتْ: أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي نِسْوَةٍ مِنْ بَنِي غِفَارٍ، فَقُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَدْ أَرَدْنَا أَنْ نَخْرُجَ مَعَكَ إلَى وَجْهِكَ هَذَا، وَهُوَ يَسِيرُ إلَى خَيْبَرَ، فَنُدَاوِي الْجَرْحَى، وَنُعِينُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ بِمَا اسْتَطَعْنَا؛ فَقَالَ: عَلَى بَرَكَةِ اللَّهِ. قَالَتْ: فَخَرَجْنَا مَعَهُ، وَكُنْتُ جَارِيَةً حَدَثَةً، فَأَرْدَفَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى حَقِيبَةِ رَحْلِهِ. قَالَتْ: فَوَاَللَّهِ لَنَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إلَى الصُّبْحِ وَأَنَاخَ، وَنَزَلْتُ عَنْ حَقِيبَةِ رَحْلِهِ، وَإِذَا بِهَا دَمٌ مِنِّي، وَكَانَتْ أَوَّلَ حَيْضَةٍ حِضْتَهَا، قَالَتْ: فَتَقَبَّضْتُ إلَى النَّاقَةِ وَاسْتَحْيَيْتُ؛ فَلَمَّا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا بِي وَرَأَى الدَّمَ، قَالَ: مَا لَكَ ؟ لَعَلَّكَ نُفِسْتُ قَالَتْ: قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ؛ قَالَ: فَأَصْلِحِي مِنْ نَفْسِكَ، ثُمَّ خُذِي إنَاءً مِنْ مَاءٍ، فَاطْرَحِي فِيهِ مِلْحًا، ثُمَّ اغْسِلِي بِهِ مَا أَصَابَ الْحَقِيبَةَ مِنْ الدَّمِ، ثُمَّ عُودِي لِمَرْكَبِكَ. قَالَتْ: فَلَمَّا فَتَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَيْبَرَ، رَضَخَ لَنَا مِنْ الْفَيْءِ وَأَخَذَ هَذِهِ الْقِلَادَةَ الَّتِي تَرَيْنَ فِي عُنُقِي فَأَعْطَانِيهَا، وَعَلَّقَهَا بِيَدِهِ فِي عُنُقِي، فَوَاَللَّهِ لَا تُفَارِقُنِي أَبَدًا. قَالَتْ: فَكَانَتْ فِي عُنُقِهَا حَتَّى مَاتَتْ، ثُمَّ أَوْصَتْ أَنْ تُدْفَنَ مَعَهَا. قَالَتْ: وَكَانَتْ لَا تَطَهَّرَ مِنْ حَيْضَةٍ إلَّا جَعَلَتْ فِي طَهُورِهَا مِلْحًا، وَأَوْصَتْ بِهِ أَنْ يُجْعَلَ فِي غُسْلِهَا حِينَ مَاتَتْ
Translation
✧ [The women's witnessing Khaybar and the report of the Ghifārī woman] Ibn Isḥāq said: Some women from among the Muslim women witnessed Khaybar with the Messenger of God ﷺ, and the Messenger of God ﷺ gave them a small portion from the booty, but did not assign them a full share. Ibn Isḥāq said: Sulaymān b. Suḥaym narrated to me, from Umayyah b. Abī al-Ṣalt, from a woman of the Banū Ghifār, whom he named for me, who said: I came to the Messenger of God ﷺ among a group of women from the Banū Ghifār, and we said, 'O Messenger of God, we wish to go out with you on this campaign of yours'—he was traveling to Khaybar—'so that we may treat the wounded and help the Muslims as much as we can.' He said, 'Upon the blessing of God.' She said: So we went out with him. I was a young girl, and the Messenger of God ﷺ mounted me behind him on the rear covering of his camel saddle. She said: By God, the Messenger of God ﷺ dismounted at dawn and made the camel kneel, and I got down from the rear covering of his saddle, and behold, there was blood from me—it was the first menstruation I had ever had. She said: I shrank back toward the camel and felt ashamed. When the Messenger of God ﷺ saw what was wrong with me and saw the blood, he said, 'What is the matter with you? Perhaps you have started menstruating.' She said: I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Then set yourself right, take a vessel of water, put some salt in it, and wash with it the blood that got on the saddle covering. Then return to your riding place.' She said: When the Messenger of God ﷺ conquered Khaybar, he gave us a small portion from the booty. He took this necklace that you see on my neck and gave it to me, and hung it with his own hand around my neck. By God, it will never leave me as long as I live. She said: It remained on her neck until she died, and she instructed that she be buried with it. She said: Whenever she purified herself from menstruation, she would put salt in her purification water, and she left instructions that it be put in her washing when she died.
