Bismillah
Salam all
I must apologize, I think while doing the mod duties I messed up with something here. I think about 3 posts were lost.
However I can summarize them because they lead to important points:
Seraphim in response to a point on the thread of Quran 61:1 wrote what means that Mohamed and his companions during the Bani Quraiza (Jewish tribe) battle killed all men and took all women as captives. Mohamed salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam took Rayhana for himself.
He stopped here.
Now to clear this point:
Bani qurayza had a covenant with the Messenger salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam to defend the Muslims in Medina in case of any external aggression. Yet, when the Kufar prepared to invade Medina and attack the Muslims there, they breached this convenant and allied with the Kufar (during the battle of Ahzab = The parties or the Ditch). After Allah Granted victory to the Muslims over Ahzab, they were still in the battle field ready to go back when Arch Angle Jebreel brought an order from Allah for the Muslim to go after Bani Qurayza. Saad Ibn Mua`adh recalled how they received him with dirty language when he went to remind them of their agreement with the Muslims. Saad judged to kill their men and take the women as captives. The Messenger approved it.
The head of Bani Qurayza received this info and he gave his people 3 options:
either to believe in Mohamed which they find his description in Tawrah and know for sure he is the anticipated Messenger .
To kill their women and children and go out to fight them
To try and reconcile.
The conclusion is that the battle took place.
Regarding Rayhan, the Messenger salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam took her for himself. He gave her a choice to free her and marry her, we will get to see why later on, but she turned this offer down and willingly preferred to remain as a slave under his possession and not to embrace Islam. He didnt push her for it..
Later on she embraced Islam willingly.
