It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the people of Banu Qurayza agreed to surrender on the decision of Hazrat Saad bin Muadh (may Allah be pleased with him), the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sent for Hazrat Saad bin Muadh (may Allah be pleased with him). He came riding on his mount. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "Stand up to welcome your leader." Then he said to him, "These people are ready to surrender on your decision." He submitted, "You should have their fighting men killed and their children taken as captives." Upon hearing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "You have given the same decision as Allah's decision."
