for every fair reader and reader of the Prophet’s biography, he knows very well that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, made a treaty with the Jews of Banu Qurayza, and they were at that time part of the state and they were not just allies or anything else, but rather they were from the state, and the conditions of these The treaty is as follows: 1 That the Jews of Bani Awf are a nation with the believers, the Jews have their religion and the Muslims their religion, their guardians and themselves. 2 The Jews have to spend on them, and the Muslims have to spend on them. 3 And that among them victory over those who fought the people of this newspaper. 4 And that among them advice and advice, and righteousness without sin. 5 And that no man should sin against his ally. 6 And that victory is for the oppressed. 7- And that the Jews spend with the believers as long as they are at war. 8 And for the people of this newspaper to drink its hollow is forbidden. 9- And that whatever happened between the people of this newspaper of any event or quarrel that he fears spoiling, then it is attributed to God, and to Muhammad, the Messenger of God. 10 - And that neither the Quraish nor those who helped it. 11- And that among them victory over those who attacked Yathrib... over all people who had their share from their side who accepted them. 12- And that this book does not prevent an oppressor or a sinner (2). Therefore, this treaty enjoins peace between Muslims and Jews, as well as the protection of Medina. It also forbids Jews from trading with the Quraysh who are the sweet enemy of Medina (the state of Muslims and Jews at that time) so that there is no alliance between them. The Muslims respected these conditions as they lasted for five years. Third, did the Jews respect the treaty? This is the main reason behind the killing of Banu Qurayzah, as will be detailed, for they broke the treaty and allied themselves with the Quraish. After the armies of the parties surrounded Medina with ten thousand fighters from the polytheists of Quraish, Ghatafan, Ashja’, Asad, Fazara and Banu Salim, while the number of Muslims did not exceed three thousand fighters. (3). And the calamity on the Muslims had intensified during the Battle of Al-Ahzab. Umm Salamah, the Mother of the Believers, may God be pleased with her, said as she illustrated the horror of the situation: (I witnessed with the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, scenes of fighting and fear. Al-Fath and Hunayn, this was not more difficult for the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, nor was I more afraid of the trench for us, because the Muslims were in a critical situation, and Qurayzah was not safe from our offspring. It was expected that after this siege and the severity of this calamity, the Jews of Banu Qurayza would join the ranks of the Muslims against the advancing forces on Medina, based on the texts of the treaty concluded between the two parties, but what happened is the exact opposite! The Banu Qurayza were not satisfied with mere negativity, but the Muslims were surprised by them betraying them in the most dangerous time of their plight, and they did not observe the sanctity of covenants, in order to hasten the crushing of Muslims and their complete elimination. Ibn Kathir, may God have mercy on him, said: Ibn Ishaq said: Huyay bin Akhtab al-Nadari went out, until Ka’b bin Asad al-Qurazi, the owner of their contract and covenant, came. He said, Woe to you, O Hayy, that you are an ominous person, and that I have made a covenant with Muhammad, so I do not contradict what is between me and him, and I have not seen anything from him except loyalty and honesty. He said: Woe to you, open up for me to speak to you. He said: What am I doing? He said, by God, if you close me, except for fear of your army, I will eat with you from it. So the man preserved it, so he opened it to him and said: Woe to you, Ka’b! He said: I brought you Quraysh over its leaders and its masters, until you brought them down with the community of Al-Asyal from Rome and Ghatafan over its leaders and masters, until I brought them down for a sin of reprimand on the side of someone, and they promised me and they promised me that they would not leave until we extirpated Muhammad and those with him. Ka'b said: You have come to me, God gave eternity, and Juham has spilled its water, thundering and lightning, and there is nothing in it, and it is scratching, O Hayy! So leave me and what I am upon, for I have not seen anything from Muhammad but loyalty and honesty.Amr bin Saad Al-Qurazi spoke and did well in what Musa bin Uqbah mentioned: He reminded them of the covenant and covenant of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, and their contract with him on his victory, and he said: If you do not help him, leave him and his enemy. Ibn Ishaq said, “My life continued with a heel twisting it in the midst and west until he heard him - that is, in breaking the covenant of the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, and in his war with the parties — that Hayya gave him the covenant and covenant of God, and if the Quraysh and Ghatfan return and they do not harm Muhammad I will enter with you in your fortress until What happened to you hurts me. Kaab bin Asad broke the covenant and acquitted himself of what was between him and the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace.. (5) Then the Jews of the village have sent war operations, and they sent a man of them . Hassan bin Thabit, Hassan bin Thabit was with with women and boys where the trench of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "It was a man of Jews, and he made a man of a mask, and he fought by a village, and cut between them and the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). , And the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and his companions. At the pillar until I killed him, then I went back to the fort and said:O Hassan, go down and take him away, for nothing prevented me from taking him away except that he is a man. And through what I narrated to the honorable reader, and after a fair reading, it becomes clear to us that the Muslims were very fair, so what the Jews did is called high treason (which is punishable by death or life imprisonment (for more clarification, please review Wikipedia Encyclopedia)) , their goal in all of this was The eradication of the Muslims and their complete extermination, had it not been for the intervention of God Almighty and Majestic to support the faith and its people and defeat polytheism and its party, and God willed that the Jewish pagan alliance be vanquished {And God answered those who disbelieved in their wrath, the parties would not have destroyed them} (verse 25). The Muslims were exterminated and killed. And after the polytheists and their allies turned away, carrying with them all the meanings of failure, the Muslims returned to their homes in Medina, washing themselves from the infirmities of jihad and fatigue, and catching their breath after a deep psychological anxiety that lasted an entire month. As for Qurayzah, it is proven in the hadith that he killed their fighters and left everything else. The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, made a covenant with the Jews of Banu Qurayzah, but they broke the covenant and sided with the polytheists in the Battle of the Trench. The dress of war, Gabriel, peace be upon him, came to him and ordered him to go to Banu Qurayza, then Saad bin Muadh judged them and said: I judge them to kill the female fighter, to take the children and women into captivity, and to divide the money, in the two Sahihs and this is the wording of Muslim: where? , He pointed to the sons of the village and achieved the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).Indeed, I judge among them that the female fighter should be killed , that the offspring and women should be taken captive, and that their property should be divided” (7) As we see my brothers in God, Saad, may God be pleased with him, ordered the killing of the female fighter, and this is from the guidance of the Prophet of God, peace and blessings be upon him, and he did not kill anyone else, so on the authority of Buraidah, he said: The Messenger of God (if he ordered a commander to command an army or a company, he commanded him in his own to fear God and fear God From the Muslims good, he said: They were briefed in the name of God in the way of Allah, fought from Kafr in God, they were briefed and do not work, and do not represent, and do not represent, and do not kill, and do not kill, and do not kill, and do not kill me. Then invite them to Islam, and if they respond to you, accept it from them, then invite them to move from their home to the home of the immigrants.. (8) Summary: We conclude from the foregoing, dear reader, as follows: 1- The killing of Banu Qurayzah had a reason, which was high treason and aiding the enemy against the Muslims 2- Killing the female fighter among them and releasing those who embraced Islam 3- The number of dead was between 40 and 400 4- The killing of anyone who bred any of them He reached and were warriors. 5- The penalty for high treason is death or life imprisonmen Research sources: (1) The Biography of the Prophet - Ibn Hisham - vol. 3 - p. 721, as mentioned by Ibn Kathir, may God have mercy on him, in the Biography of the Prophet - vol. 2 - p. 239 and others..
