1584. 'Aṭiyyah Al-Qurazī narrated: "We were presented to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ on the day of (the battle of) Quraizah. Whoever had pubic hair was killed and whoever did not was left to his way. I was of those who did not have pubic hair so I was left to my way." (Ṣaḥīh)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīh. This is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge. They consider pubic hair an indication of the age of responsibility, if it is not known whether he has had a wet dream, or his age. This is the view of Aḥmad and Ishāq.

Commentary
This narration proves that if it has been decided to kill the enemy, then those among the enemy who are their leaders and those who are able to fight against the Muslims will be killed. It means only adults who are potential danger should be killed. Old persons and children who have not reached the age of puberty should not be killed. Discussion about the age of puberty has already been given in a previous narration.
