Ubayy b. Salul had asked him for them and he gave them to him; so when al-Aus spoke thus the apostle said. Will you be satisfied, O Aus, if one of your own number pronounces judgement on them?’ When they agreed he said that Sa'd b. | ||
Muadh was the man. The apostle had put Sa'd in a tent belonging to a woman of Aslam called Rufayda inside his mosque. She used to nurse the wounded and see to those Muslims who needed care. The apostle had told his people when Sa'd had been wounded by an arrow at the battle of the Trench to put him in Rufayda’s tent until he could visit him later. When the apostle appointed him umpire in the matter of B. Qurayza, his people came to him and mounted him on a donkey on which they had put a leather cushion, he being a corpulent man. As they brought him to the apostle they said, ‘Deal kindly with your friends, for the apostle has made you umpire for that very purpose.’ When they persisted he said, ‘The time 689 has come for Sa d in the cause of God, not to care for any man’s censure.’ Some of his people who were there went back to the quarter of B. 'Abdu’l-Ashhal and announced to them the death of B. Qurayza before Sa'd got to them, because of what they had heard him say. | |||
When Sa’d reached the apostle and the Muslims the apostle told them to get up to greet their leader. The muhajirs of Quraysh thought that the apostle meant the Ansar, while the latter thought that he meant everyone, so they got up and said ‘O Abu 'Amr, the apostle has entrusted to you the affair of your allies that you may give judgement concerning them, Sa'd asked ‘Do you covenant by Allah that you accept the judgement I pronounce on them ?’ They said Yes, and he said, ‘And is it incumbent on the one who is here?’ (looking) in the direction of the apostle not mentioning him out of respect, and the apostle answered Yes. Sa'd said Then I give judgement that the men should be killed, the property divided, and the women and children taken as captives.' | |||
'Asim b. 'Umar b. Qatada told me from 'Abdu’l-Rahman b. Amr b. Sa'd b. Mu'adh from 'Alqama b. Waqqas al-Laythi that the apostle said to Sa'd, ‘You have given the judgement of Allah above the seven heavens'. | |||
Then they surrendered, and the apostle confined them in Medina in the quarter of d. al-Harith, a woman of B. al-Najjar. Then the apostle went out to the market of Medina (which is still its market today) and dug trenches in it. Then he sent for them and struck off their heads m those trenches as they were brought out to him in batches. Among them was the enemy of Allah Huyayy b. Akhtab and Ka'b b. Asad their chief. There were 600 or 700 in all, though some put the figure as high as 800 or 900. As they were being taken out in batches to the apostle they asked Ka b what he thought would be done with them. He replied, ‘Will you never understand? Don’t you see that the summoner never stops and those, who are taken away do not return? By Allah it is death!’ This went on until the apostle made an end of them. | |||
Huyayy was brought out wearing a flowered robe in which he had made holes about the size of the finger-tips in every part so that it should not be taken from him as spoil, with his hands bound to his neck by a rope. When he saw the apostle he said, ‘By God, I do not blame myself for opposing you, but he who forsakes God will be forsaken. Then he went to the men and said, ‘God’s command is right. A book and a decree and massacre have been written against the Sons of Israel. Then he sat down and his head was struck off. | |||
Jabal b. Jawwal al-Tha'labl said: | |||
:''Ibn Akhtab did not blame himself'' | |||
:''But he who forsakes God will be forsaken.'' | |||
:''He fought until he justified himself'' | |||
:''And struggled to the utmost in pursuit of glory.'' | |||
Muhammad b. Ja'far b. al-Zubayr told me from 'Urwa b. al-Zubayr that ‘A’isha said: ‘Only one of their women was killed. She was actually with me and was talking with me and laughing immoderately as the apostle was killing her men in the market when suddenly an unseen voice called her name. ‘Good heavens,’ I cried, ‘what is the matter?’ ‘I am to be killed,’ she replied. ‘What for?’ I asked. ‘Because of something I did,’ she answered. She was taken away and beheaded. ‘A’isha used to say, ‘I shall never forget my wonder at her good spirits and her loud laughter when all the time she knew' that she would be killed’.}} | |||

He said to them, 'I will give you your answer tomorrow,' but he did not say, 'if God will.' So they went away; and the apostle, so they say, waited for fifteen days without a revelation from God on the matter, nor did Gabriel come to him, so that the people of Mecca began to spread evil reports, saying, 'Muhammad promised us an answer on the morrow, and today is the fifteenth day we have remained without an answer.' This delay caused the apostle great sorrow, until Gabriel brought him the Chapter of the Cave, in which he reproaches him for his sadness, and told him the answers of their questions, the youths, the mighty traveller, and the spirit.}} | ||

Sa'd reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said on the Day of Khaibar: I would certainly give this standard to a person at whose hand Allah would grant victory and who loves Allah and His Messenger and Allah and His Messenger love him also. The people spent the night thinking as to whom it would be given. When it was morning the people hastened to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) all of them hoping that that would be given to him. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Where is 'Ali b. Abu Talib? They said: Allah's Messenger, his eyes are sore. He then sent for him and he was brought and '''Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) applied saliva to his eyes and invoked blessings and he was all right''', as if he had no ailment at all, and conferred upon him the standard. 'Ali said: Allah's Messenger, I will fight them until they are like us. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Advance cautiously until you reach their open places, thereafter invite them to Islam and inform them what is obligatory for them from the rights of Allah, for, by Allah, if Allah guides aright even one person through you that is better for you than to possess the most valuable of the camels.}} | ||
