Banu Qurayzah

The ironic thing about the issue of Banu Qurayzah is that the rule applied to them was their own law in the Bible, Old Testament (i.e. In Numbers 31: 7-10, 31:13-15 & Deuteronomy 20: 10-14).

So they faced the punishment of their own Prophet, and they chose the person who would decide their punishment for them (Sa'ad ibn Mu'aadh).

Those who were men from the banu Quraydhah and supported the treason against the Muslims, and planned to kill them all (the muslims) during the warfare when the Ahzab [confederates, 10,000 of them surrounded the Muslims (who were only 3000 in number)] - them Jews were executed.

This was approved of by Prophet Muhammad too, because the punishment is equal to the crime.


Those who said that they did not want to get involved in harming the Muslims from among the Banu Quraydhah, they did not get beheaded. Some even became Muslims willingly.

Ibn Ishaq quotes another descendant of Qurayza, ‘Attiyya13 by name, who had been spared, and, directly, a certain descendant of al-Zabir b. Bata, a prominent member of the tribe of Qurayza who figures in the narrative.
