The people of (Banu) Quraiza agreed to accept the verdict of Saʿd bin Muʿadh. So the Prophet ﷺ sent for Saʿd, and the latter came (riding) a donkey and when he approached the Mosque, the Prophet ﷺ said to the Ansar, "Get up for your chief or for the best among you." Then the Prophet ﷺ said (to Saʿd)." These (i.e. Banu Quraiza) have agreed to accept your verdict." Saʿd said, "Kill their (men) warriors and take their offspring as captives, "On that the Prophet ﷺ said, "You have judged according to Allah's Judgment," or said, "according to the King's judgment."

When the tribe of Bani Quraiza was ready to accept Saʿd's judgment, Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent for Saʿd who was near to him. Saʿd came, riding a donkey and when he came near, Messenger of Allah ﷺ said (to the Ansar), "Stand up for your leader." Then Saʿd came and sat beside Messenger of Allah ﷺ who said to him. "These people are ready to accept your judgment." Saʿd said, "I give the judgment that their warriors should be killed and their children and women should be taken as prisoners." The Prophet ﷺ then remarked, "O Saʿd! You have judged amongst them with (or similar to) the judgment of the King Allah."

The people of Quraiza surrendered accepting the decision of Sa'd b. Mu'adh about them. Accordingly, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent for Sa'd who came to him riding a donkey. When he approached the mosque, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to the Ansar: Stand up to receive your chieftain. Then he said (to Sa'd): These people have surrendered accepting your decision. He (Sa'd) said: You will kill their fighters and capture their women and children. (Hearing this), the Prophet ﷺ said: You have adjudged by the command of God. The narrator is reported to have said: Perhaps he said: You have adjudged by the decision of a king. Ibn Muthanna (in his version of the tradition) has not mentioned the alternative words.
