The full aeuvre Ibn Ishaq being permanently lost, remaining only a small part of the story of the prophet, we must refer to other historians like Tabari, Ibn Kathir, Ibn Hisham and many autres.De over these historians had access to the original work of Ibn Ishaq is definitively lost since the thirteenth century. A huge loss!
We know that many hadiths were distorted or invented as many passages of the Bible, and the Bible as it was put in writing over a hundred years after the passage of the prophets Moses, Jesus and Muhammad.
For the work of Ibn IHAQ over 120 years separates the death of Muhammad, so how can we believe that the Muhammad story has survived untouched by the various rapporteurs such as the massacre of Banu Qurayza?
Question: Can we separate fact from fiction? That day will come I'm sure, but we can expect a small study on the passage of the massacre of the Banu Quaraydha.
Take what we said the book of Ibn Ishaq:
1. In the book of Ibn Ishaq, p.192, he writes, "Ibn Ishaq said: Then let them down. The Messenger of Allah locked them in the district of Bint al-Harith al-Madinah; Bint al-Harith is a woman of Banu al-Najjar [note indicates either Ramlah bint al-Harith, or Kaysah bint al-Hârtih]. Then the Messenger of Allah went to al-Madinah market which is still its market, and dug ditches. He brought them, and beheaded in these ditches, we brought them to him in groups [...] They were among six hundred or seven hundred; one that multiplies their number said they were between eight hundred and nine hundred. "
At the 193-194 page book of Ibn Ishaq, it is said that Al Zubayr, a Jewish old man, refused the Muslim Thabit, who asked for and received the freedom of the prophet of the old man and his property, his wife and children , gives gift of life without its dead companions. He preferred the rejoindres into the pit because of the betrayal of the pact of alliance concluded between Muslims and Banu Quaraydha. Indeed from this passage, they fought by the force of arms against Muslims:
"Ibn Ishaq said: [...] Al-Zubayr told Thabit! Ö What did Thabit whose face looks like a mirror in which Chinese virgin area to reflect, ie Ka'b b '. Asad? " Thabit said, "He is killed!" Al-Zubayr asked him: What did the leader of townspeople and Bedouins: Huyayy b. ? Akhtab "He replied:" He was killed "He asked, What did our vanguard when we attacked our rearguard and when we took to flight. '.? Azzâl b Samaw'al" He replied: "He was killed." Al-Zubayr asked again, "What did the two assemblies - ie: Banu Ka'b b Qurayzah and Banu Amr b Qurayzah.?" Thabit said, "They killed, they killed?" Al Zubayr said, "O Thabit, I pray thee, by the blessing that I made you [p.692] to make me reach these people because, by God, after these life has no meaning!. I can not wait a moment until I met my beloved. " So Thabit introduced him and cut his neck. "
Therefore:
1- As stated above, they attacked the Muslims at the Battle of the ditch. 'Azzâl b. Samaw'al, at the forefront of the attack and the rearguard during the escape was killed in the massacre, the other fighters were probably killed too. However, as the front and rear guard consisted of one person, they probably were not more than a dozen people. The attack certainly making by arrows as shown in the book at the Battle of the ditch against the coalition.
2- Banu Quaydha consisted of two assemblies: the Banu Ka'b b Qurayzah and Banu Amr b. Qurayzah. Thabit did not know how many were killed in this massacre because he said, "They killed, they killed?" This because the point of interogation.
3- "Banu Qurayza" are likely to mainly converts to Islam hypocritically even to save their lives, their families and their property. Those who refused were killed as described above. This is because of what we relate the different lower historians. One of the Jewish tribes known converts to Islam just after the battle of the ditch.
4- they were few to be slaughtered like hadith indicates the above, combined with the precision of historians Tabari, Ibn Kathir and Hamidullah (see below).
They were few to be murdered:
1 Ibn Ishaq said that Aisha, the mother of believers, were in the fortress of the Banu Harithah during the Battle of the gap was one of the fortified Medina (p.179). Yet on page 192 it is stated that the prisoners were locked up in the district of Bint al-Harith, a woman of Banu al-Najjar in Medina. This means that the area of this woman is most likely smaller than the fortress of the Banu Harithah.
1- The historian Tabari says that they remained bound hand for three days until all their belongings were transported to Medina. It is only then that the Prophet dug a pit on the market place (Chronicle of Tabari, Stories of the Prophets and Kings, Editions de la Ruche, p.537, translated by Hermann Zotermberg)
2- In the biography of the Prophet of Islam Ismail Ibn Kathir, the historian and traditionalist reported they were between 400 and 700 executed after being 'locked in the house of Bint al-Harith.' ' This woman was called Nassiba Bint Harith ibn El Kurz Ibn Habib ibn 'Abd Shams. The neighborhood quotes Ibn Ishaq is a house. (As-Sira, the Prophet Muhammad's biography, The beginnings of Islam, Universal Publishing, February 2007, p.652)
3- For the work of Hamidullah, indicated that at the time came the Banu Hanifah, a strong delegation, the "house of Ramlah bint al-Harith" was then the embassies of the hotel. The Banu Hanifah could get in to eat in turn, it is written that they eat day and night, so alternately! A strong delegation can mean a hundred people, but how exactly? (Muhammad Hamidullah, The Prophet of Islam, his life, his work, 2 volumes, El-Najah Edition, Paris, P.380)
Analysis:
1. The accounts of Ibn Ishaq contradict; suddenly Bani Quarydha not made war with the Muslims (by not taking the promise to make war on the Muslims, p.184), and subsequent pages (p.193-195) Jewish old man said they did war on the Muslims so betraying the pact of alliance between Muslims and Bani Quaraydha.
2. According to the historians mentioned above, one can conclude that there was probably not enough large homes in Medina in the seventh century AD to hold 600 to 900 people at one time and for 3 days bound hand c is totally fanciful. Medina was a city of a few thousand people at most. It is therefore likely that they were few.
3. Banu Quarydha could not be in the Prophet's Mosque which was too small by historians to contain between 600 and 900 people for 3 days. The rooms of the prophet being glued to the mosque and had a door leading to the mosque, it would be too dangerous to put close to his wives and children of those who have nothing to lose. If his family had been moved, he would have also had to move the Prophet and the place of prayer for 3 days, which is excluded.
Bint al-Harith 4. is not the wife of the Prophet Ibn Ishaq said [p.192]: Then let them down. The Messenger of Allah locked them in the district of Bint al-Harith al-Madinah; Bint al-Harith is a woman of Banu al-Najjar. [131]
In the book of Ibn Kathir, Ibn Ishaq it adds: "This woman apellait Nassiba Bint Harith ibn al-Kurz ibn Habib ibn 'Abd Shams." (P.652). From then it is understandable that no one could determine with certainty who it was (Kaysah, Ramlah or Nassiba).
[131] as commentators is either bint al-Harith Kaysah or Ramlah bint al-Harith b.Tha'labah.
