The prisoners, thus condemned, were kept in the house or compound of a Muslim woman d. Al-Harith of the banu al-najjaar tribe. In the morning they were marched out to a trench which had been dug in the city's market, and executed by decapitation <ref>ibid, 465</ref> . According to the sira of ibn Ishaq, at least one woman was amongst them. The women were given as sexual and labor slaves to the Muslims, with only boys who had not yet reached puberty being allowed to live. According to the sira, the haul of weapons and plunder was substantial, but Muhammad still sent some of the women and children to be sold in the najd for more horses and weapons <ref>ibid, 466</ref>. | The prisoners, thus condemned, were kept in the house or compound of a Muslim woman d.
