The Jewish tribe of the Banu Qurayza is described in various hadith. 800-900 men from this tribe were massacred on the orders of Muhammad.
Abu as-Sa'ib, the freed slave of Hisham b. Zuhra, said that he visited Abu Sa'id Khudri in his house, (and he
further) said: [...] There was a young man amongst us who had been
newly wedded. We went with Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) (to
participate in the Battle of the trench) when a young man in the midday
used to seek permission from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
to return to his family. One day he sought permission from him and Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) (after granting him
the permission) said to him: Carry your weapons with you for I fear the
tribe of Quraiza (may harm you). The man carried the weapons and then
came back and found his wife standing between the two doors...
Narrated Abd-Allah ibn al-Zubayr: During the battle of Al-Ahzab, I and
'Umar bin Abi-Salama were kept behind with the women. Behold! I saw (my
father) Az-Zubair riding his horse,
going to and coming from Banu Qurayza twice or thrice. So when I came
back I said, "O my father! I saw you going to and coming from Banu
Qurayza?" He said, "Did you really see me, O my son?" I said, "Yes." He
said, "Allah's Apostle said, 'Who will go to Bani Quraiza and bring me
their news?' So I went, and when I came back, Allah's Apostle mentioned
for me both his parents saying, "Let my father and mother be sacrificed
for you."'
Sahih Bukhari 5:57:66, See Also: Sahih Muslim 31:5940
Narrated 'Aisha: When Allah's Apostle returned on
the day (of the battle) of Al-Khandaq (i.e. Trench), he put down his
arms and took a bath. Then Gabriel whose head was covered with dust,
came to him saying, "You have put down your arms! By Allah, I have not
put down my arms yet." Allah's Apostle said, "Where (to go now)?"
Gabriel said, "This way," pointing towards the tribe of Bani Quraiza. So
Allah's Apostle went out towards them.
Sahih Bukhari 4:52:68, See Also: Sahih Bukhari 5:59:443, Sahih Muslim 19:4370
Narrated Anas ibn Malik: As if I am just now looking at the dust rising
in the street of Banu Ghanm (in Medina) because of the marching of
Gabriel's regiment when Allah's Apostle set out to Banu Qurayza (to
attack them).
Narrated Abd-Allah ibn Umar: On the day of Al-Ahzab (i.e. Clans) the
Prophet said, "None of you Muslims) should offer the 'Asr prayer but at
Banu Qurayza's place." The 'Asr prayer became due for some of them on
the way. Some of those said, "We will not offer it till we reach it, the
place of Banu Quraiza," while some others said, "No, we will pray at
this spot, for the Prophet did not mean that for us." Later on it was
mentioned to the Prophet and he did not berate any of the two groups.
Sahih Bukhari 5:59:445, See Also: Sahih Muslim 19:4374
Narrated Abu-Sa'id al-Khudri: When the tribe of Banu Qurayza was ready
to accept Sad's judgment, Allah's Apostle sent for Sad who was near to
him. Sad came, riding a donkey and when he came near, Allah's Apostle
said (to the Ansar), "Stand up for your leader." Then Sad came and sat
beside Allah's Apostle who said to him. "These people are ready to
accept your judgment." Sad said, "I give the judgment that their
warriors should be killed and their children and women should be taken
as prisoners." The Prophet then remarked, "O Sad! You have judged
amongst them with (or similar to) the judgment of the King Allah."
Narrated Abd-Allah ibn Umar: Banu Nadir and Banu Qurayza fought (against the Prophet violating their peace treaty),
so the Prophet exiled Bani An-Nadir and allowed Bani Quraiza to remain
at their places (in Medina) taking nothing from them till they fought
against the Prophet again). He then killed their men and distributed
their women, children and property among the Muslims, but some of them
came to the Prophet and he granted them safety, and they embraced Islam.
He exiled all the Jews from Medina. They were the Jews of Banu Qaynuqa,
the tribe of Abdullah bin Salam and the Jews of Bani Haritha and all
the other Jews of Medina.
Sahih Bukhari 5:59:362, See Also: Sahih Muslim 19:4364
Narrated Aisha: No woman of Banu Qurayza was killed except one. She was
with me, talking and laughing on her back and belly (extremely), while
the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) was killing her people with the
swords. Suddenly a man called her name: Where is so-and-so? She said: I
I asked: What is the matter with you? She said: I did a new act. She
said: The man took her and beheaded her. She said: I will not forget
that she was laughing extremely although she knew that she would be
killed.
Narrated Atiyyah al-Qurazi: I was among the captives of Banu Qurayza.
They (the Companions) examined us, and those who had begun to grow hair
(pubes) were killed, and those who had not were not killed. I was among
those who had not grown hair.
“The Jews were made to come down, and Allah’s Messenger imprisoned them.
Then the Prophet went out into the marketplace of Medina (it is still
its marketplace today), and he had trenches dug in it. He sent for the
Jewish men and had them beheaded in those trenches. They were brought
out to him in batches. They numbered 800 to 900 boys and men. As they
were being taken in small groups to the Prophet, they said to one
another, ‘What do you think will be done to us?’ Someone said, ‘Do you
not understand. On each occasion do you not see that the summoner never
stops? He does not discharge anyone. And that those who are taken away
do not come back. By God, it is death!’ The affair continued until the
Messenger of Allah had finished with them all.”
Al-Tabari, Vol. 8, p. 35, See Also Ishaq:464
“Then the Apostle divided the property, wives, and children of the
Qurayza among the Muslims. Allah’s Messenger took his fifth of the
booty.”
Ishaq:465
“The Prophet selected for himself from among the Jewish women of the
Qurayza, Rayhanah bt. Amr. She became his concubine. When he predeceased
her, she was still in his possession. When the Messenger of Allah took
her as a captive, she showed herself averse to Islam and insisted on
Judaism.”
“Then the Messenger of Allah sent Sa’d bin Zayd with some of the Qurayza
captives to Najd, and in exchange for them he purchased horses and
arms.” “The Messenger
of God commanded that furrows should be dug in the ground for the
Qurayza. Then he sat down. Ali and Zubayr began cutting off their heads
in his presence.”
