It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) that only one woman from among the women of Banu Qurayza was killed. By Allah, she was sitting with me, laughing so much that she was rolling with laughter, while the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was killing their men in the market. Suddenly, a caller called out her name, so she said: By Allah! This is a call for me by name. I said: Goodness be for you, what has happened to you? She replied: I am going to be killed. I asked: Why is that? She said: I had committed a crime. Umm al-Mu’minin says: Then she was taken away and her neck was struck. Sayyidah used to say: By Allah! I do not forget her cheerfulness and excessive laughter, even though she knew she was going to be killed.
