وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُلْوَانَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَلَيْهِمُ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "ذَكَرَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ اَلْجِهَادَ فَقَالَتِ اِمْرَأَةٌ لِرَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ فَمَا لِلنِّسَاءِ مِنْ هَذَا شَيْءٌ فَقَالَ" "بَلَى لِلْمَرْأَةِ مَا بَيْنَ حَمْلِهَا إِلَى وَضْعِهَا إِلَى فِطَامِهَا مِنَ اَلْأَجْرِ كَالْمُرَابِطِ فِي سَبِيلِ اَللَّهِ فَإِنْ هَلَكَتْ فِيمَا بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ كَانَ لَهَا مِثْلُ مَنْزِلَةِ اَلشَّهِيدِ".
In the narration of Al-Husayn ibn Alwan from Amr ibn Khalid from Zayd ibn Ali from his forefathers (peace be upon them) from Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام, he said: The Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace be upon him and his family) mentioned jihad, and a woman said to the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace be upon him and his family): "O Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, do women have any share in this?" He صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم replied: "Yes, for a woman, from the time of her pregnancy until she gives birth and until she weans her child, she receives a reward equal to that of a person stationed in the way of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. And if she dies during that period, she will have the same status as a martyr."
