[Machine] He informed him that the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stripped him on the day of the Battle of Quraizah, but when they did not see any traces of lice on his head, they left him without killing him.
أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ أَصْحَابَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ قُرَيْظَةَ جَرَّدُوهُ فَلَمَّا لَمْ يَرَوِا الْمُوسَى جَرَتْ عَلَى شَعْرِهِ يُرِيدُ عَانَتَهُ تَرَكُوهُ مِنَ الْقَتْلِ»
كُنْتُ فِيمَنْ حَكَمَ فِيهِ سَعْدٌ فَجِيءَ بِي وَأَنَا أَرَى أَنَّهُ سَيَقْتُلُنِي فَكَشَفُوا عَنْ عَانَتِي فَوَجَدُونِي لَمْ أُنْبِتْ فَجَعَلُونِي فِي السَّبْيِ
“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.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2541)
سَمِعْتُ عَطِيَّةَ الْقُرَظِيَّ يَقُولُ عَرَضْنَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَوْمَ قُرَيْظَةَ فَكَانَ مَنْ أَنْبَتَ قُتِلَ وَمَنْ لَمْ يُنْبِتْ خُلِّيَ سَبِيلُهُ فَكُنْتُ فِيمَنْ لَمْ يُنْبِتْ فَخُلِّيَ سَبِيلِي
