[Machine] And regarding women, did he used to take them out with him to battle or they attended the battles? And regarding the slaves, do they have a share in the spoils? He replied, Ibn Abbas wrote to him: As for the young boys, if you, Al-Khidr, can distinguish between the disbelievers and the believers, then kill them. And as for the one-fifth portion, we used to say that it belongs to us, but our people claimed that it does not belong to us. And as for the women, indeed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to take them out with him, and they would treat the sick and nurse the wounded, but they would not attend the battles. And as for the young boy, the orphanhood would be severed from him when he has a wet dream. And as for the slave, he does not have a share in the spoils, but they used to give him a portion willingly.
