The killing of Banū Qurayẓa
[ مَقْتَلُ بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: ثُمَّ اسْتَنْزَلُوا، فَحَبَسَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فِي دَارِ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ، امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ بَنِي النَّجَّارِ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إلَى سُوقِ الْمَدِينَةِ، الَّتِي هِيَ سُوقُهَا الْيَوْمَ، فَخَنْدَقَ بِهَا خَنَادِقَ، ثُمَّ بَعَثَ إلَيْهِمْ، فَضَرَبَ أَعْنَاقَهُمْ فِي تِلْكَ الْخَنَادِقِ، يُخْرَجُ بِهِمْ إلَيْهِ أَرْسَالًا، وَفِيهِمْ عَدُوُّ اللَّهِ حُيَيُّ بْنُ أَخْطَبَ، وَكَعْبُ بْنُ أَسَدٍ، رَأْسُ الْقَوْمِ، وَهُمْ سِتُّ مِئَةٍ أَوْ سَبْعُ مِئَةٍ، وَالْمُكْثِرُ لَهُمْ يَقُولُ: كَانُوا بَيْنَ الثَّمَانِ مِئَةٍ وَالتِّسْعِ مِئَةٍ. وَقَدْ قَالُوا لِكَعْبِ بْنِ أَسَدٍ، وَهُمْ يُذْهَبُ بِهِمْ إلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَرْسَالًا: يَا كَعْبُ، مَا تَرَاهُ يُصْنَعُ بِنَا ؟ قَالَ: أَفِي كُلِّ مَوْطِنٍ لَا تَعْقِلُونَ ؟ أَلَا تَرَوْنَ الدَّاعِيَ لَا يَنْزِعُ، وَأَنَّهُ مَنْ ذُهِبَ بِهِ مِنْكُمْ لَا يَرْجِعُ ؟ هُوَ وَاَللَّهِ الْقَتْلُ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ ذَلِكَ الدَّأْبُ حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنْهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - ﷺ
Translation
✧ [The killing of Banū Qurayẓah] Ibn Isḥāq said: Then they came down, and the Messenger of God ﷺ detained them in Madinah in the house of Bint al-Ḥārith, a woman of Banū al-Najjār. Then the Messenger of God ﷺ went out to the market of Madinah, which is its market today, and dug trenches in it. Then he sent for them, and struck their necks in those trenches. They were brought out to him in groups. Among them were the enemy of God Ḥuyayy b. Akhṭab and Kaʿb b. Asad, the chief of the people. They were six hundred or seven hundred, and the one who gives the higher number says: They were between eight hundred and nine hundred. They said to Kaʿb b. Asad, while they were being taken to the Messenger of God ﷺ in groups: O Kaʿb, what do you think will be done with us? He said: In every situation do you not understand? Do you not see that the summoner does not stop, and that whoever of you is taken away does not return? By God, it is killing. This continued until the Messenger of God ﷺ had finished with them.
