3043. Narrated Abū Sa'īd Al-Khudrī رضي الله عنه: When the tribe of Banī Quraiza was ready to accept Sa'd's judgement, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ sent for Sa'd who was near to him. Sa'd came, riding a donkey and when he came near, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said (to the Anṣār), "Stand up for your leader." Then Sa'd came and sat beside Allāh's Messenger ﷺ who said to him. "These people are ready to accept your judgement." Sa'd said, "I give the judgement that their warriors should be killed and their children and women should be taken as captives." The Prophet ﷺ then remarked, "O Sa'd! You have judged amongst them with (or similar to) the judgement of the King (Allāh)."

3043 - حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ هُوَ ابْنُ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ بَنُو قُرَيْظَةَ عَلَى حُكْمِ سَعْدٍ هُوَ ابْنُ مُعَاذٍ، بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَكَانَ قَرِيبًا مِنْهُ، فَجَاءَ عَلَى حِمَارٍ، فَلَمَّا دَنَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «قُومُوا إِلَى سَيِّدِكُمْ» فَجَاءَ، فَجَلَسَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: إِنَّ هَؤُلاَءِ نَزَلُوا عَلَى حُكْمِكَ، قَالَ: فَإِنِّي أَحْكُمُ أَنْ تُقْتَلَ المُقَاتِلَةُ، وَأَنْ تُسْبَى الذُّرِّيَّةُ، قَالَ: «لَقَدْ حَكَمْتَ فِيهِمْ بِحُكْمِ المَلِكِ»
