Examination of Captives in Banu Qurayzah

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the examination of captives of Banu Qurayzah, and those who had not reached puberty were spared.

Narrated Atiyyah al-Qurazi: I was among the captives of Banu Qurayzah. They (the Companions) examined us, and those who had begun to grow hair (pubes) were killed, and those who had not were not killed. I was among those who had not grown hair.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَطِيَّةُ الْقُرَظِيُّ، قَالَ كُنْتُ مِنْ سَبْىِ بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ فَكَانُوا يَنْظُرُونَ فَمَنْ أَنْبَتَ الشَّعْرَ قُتِلَ وَمَنْ لَمْ يُنْبِتْ لَمْ يُقْتَلْ فَكُنْتُ فِيمَنْ لَمْ يُنْبِتْ

He states that they were examined and those who had begun to grow hair were killed while those who hadn't grown hair yet were spared. This shows us that Islam has a great respect for life and it teaches us to be merciful even in times of war. It also teaches us to be patient and wait until we reach maturity before engaging in any activities or decisions that may have serious consequences.
