“I heard 'Atiyyah Al-Quradhi say: 'We were presented to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the Day of Quraidhah. Those whose pubic hair had grown were killed, and those whose pubic hair had not yet grown were let go. I was one of those whose pubic hair had not yet grown, so I was let go.”  

سَمِعْتُ عَطِيَّةَ الْقُرَظِيَّ يَقُولُ عُرِضْنَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ قُرَيْظَةَ فَكَانَ مَنْ أَنْبَتَ قُتِلَ وَمَنْ لَمْ يُنْبِتْ خُلِّيَ سَبِيلُهُ فَكُنْتُ فِيمَنْ لَمْ يُنْبِتْ فَخُلِّيَ سَبِيلِي  

“I heard 'Atiyyah Al-Qurazi say: Here I am still among you,' ”  

سَمِعْتُ عَطِيَّةَ الْقُرَظِيَّ يَقُولُ فَهَا أَنَا ذَا بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِكُمْ  

“I was presented to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the day of Uhud, when I was fourteen years old, but he did not permit me (to fight). I was presented to him on the Day of Khandaq when I was fifteen years old, and he permitted me (to fight).' ”  

عُرِضْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَأَنَا ابْنُ أَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً فَلَمْ يُجِزْنِي وَعُرِضْتُ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ وَأَنَا ابْنُ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً فَأَجَازَنِي قَالَ نَافِعٌ فَحَدَّثْتُ بِهِ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ فِي خِلاَفَتِهِ فَقَالَ هَذَا فَصْلُ مَا بَيْنَ الصَّغِيرِ وَالْكَبِيرِ
