Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: Yazid ibn Hurmuz said: Najdah wrote to Ibn Abbas asking him about such-and-such, and such-and-such, and he mentioned some things; he (asked) about a slave whether he would get something from the spoils; and he (asked) about women whether they used to go out (on expeditions) along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and whether they would be allotted a share, Ibn Abbas said: Had I not apprehended a folly, I would not have written (a reply) to him. As for the slave, he was given a little of the spoils (as a reward from the booty); as to the women, they would treat the wounded and supply water.

Yazid bin HUmruz said “Najdah Al Hururi wrote to Ibn Abbas asking him whether the women participated in battle along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and whether they were allotted a share from the spoils. I (Yazid bin Hurmuz) wrote a letter on behalf of Ibn Abbas to Najdah. They participated in the battle along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, but no portion (from the spoils) was allotted to them, they were given only a little of it.
