tribe of Krayzah and on that account some of the Muslims went to the Prophet (salla
Allahu alihi wa sallam) to ask him to extend the same kind of leniency he had shown to
the tribe of Kaynuka, former allies of the Khazraj, two years before. The Prophet (salla
Allahu alihi wa sallam) listened to them and asked if they would be satisfied if one of
their own pronounced judgment upon their former allies and they accepted.

of the ride, Sa‟ads companions told him that he was to pass judgment on their former
allies and asked him to treat them well on that account.
