When the spoils of war were being divided, Safiyah had been given to a
man from the tribe of Kalb by the name if Dihyah. When the Prophet
learned of her vision he asked him to release her to him and take her
cousin instead. Dihyah agreed and the Prophet offered her, her freedom
telling her that if she wished she may remain as a Jewess or embrace
Islam. Without hesitation, Safiyah replied: "I choose Allah and His
Messenger." And so when the time came for the Muslims to leave Khybar,
Safiyah left with them and later married the Prophet, praise and peace be
upon him.
THE NEWS OF WADI L-KURA:
As for the Jews of Wadi l-Kura , supporters of the Khybarites, they were not
to escape. For three days before the Prophet's return to Medina they fought
against him and finally surrendered under the same terms as their brethren
