English translation

2671. Āishah said: No woman from Banū Quraizah was killed except one. She was talking with me laughing so hard, rolling on her back and belly, while the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was killing the men of her tribe at the market. Suddenly a man called her name: 'Where is so-and-so?' She said: 'Here I am.' I said: 'What did you do?' She said: 'Something unprecedented.' She was taken away and killed. I cannot forget her — surprised by her behavior — she was talking with me, and laughing so much; rolling around on her back and belly, while she knew she will be killed."[1] (Ḥasan)

Arabic text

2671 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: " لَمْ يُقْتَلْ مِنْ نِسَائِهِمْ - تَعْنِي بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ - إِلَّا امْرَأَةٌ، إِنَّهَا لَعِنْدِي تُحَدِّثُ تَضْحَكُ ظَهْرًا وَبَطْنًا وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْتُلُ رِجَالَهُمْ بِالسُّيُوفِ، إِذْ هَتَفَ هَاتِفٌ بِاسْمِهَا أَيْنَ فُلَانَةُ؟ قَالَتْ: أَنَا. قُلْتُ: «وَمَا شَأْنُكِ؟» قَالَتْ: حَدَثٌ أَحْدَثْتُهُ. قَالَتْ: «فَانْطَلَقَ بِهَا فَضُرِبَتْ عُنُقُهَا، فَمَا أَنْسَى عَجَبًا مِنْهَا أَنَّهَا تَضْحَكُ ظَهْرًا وَبَطْنًا وَقَدْ عَلِمَتْ أَنَّهَا تُقْتَلُ»
