# Banu Qurayza men are killed and others enslaved after the Trench as later sira dates it

Date: 627

## The fact

After the Trench, later sira dates the killing of Banu Qurayza's fighting men and the enslavement of others under a judgment [Muhammad](/people/muhammad) accepted. It is a completed lethal sentence, not a parable. Muhammad's documented role is: He accepted Sa'd ibn Mu'adh's judgment and the sentence was carried out in the received file. He did not sit as a modern court of appeal.

## Context

Sa'd ibn Mu'adh is the named arbiter in the standard telling. Sharing the sentence with that arbitration is required. Confidence on unique headcount is medium because later numbers vary. The setting of Banu Qurayza men are killed and others enslaved after the Trench as later sira dates it is the public file around 0627-03-01. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Driver justice-[judicial-independence](/drivers/justice-judicial-independence-erosion)-erosion is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.

## Significance

Worsening path from Banu Qurayza men are killed and others enslaved after the Trench as later sira dates it on 0627-03-01. Mass killing and enslavement of a named clan is a justice and minority-rights path. Unique headcounts beyond the chronicles are not invented. The welfare reading on this path is worsening.

Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. Do not sanitise. Do not invent a unique integer beyond the later Arabic file. Do not merge with Qaynuqa. Mixed effects of Banu Qurayza men are killed and others enslaved after the Trench as later sira dates it are separate paths.

## What is established and what is not

Established: a sourced public record of Banu Qurayza men are killed and others enslaved after the Trench as later sira dates it under 0627-03-01 for Muhammad. Established: a sourced public record of Banu Qurayza men are killed and others enslaved after the Trench as later sira dates it under 0627-03-01.

Shared responsibility is part of Banu Qurayza men are killed and others enslaved after the Trench as later sira dates it. Naming Muhammad does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 0627-03-01 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.

The welfare reading used in this dossier is worsening. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.
