70 HADRAT ABU BAKR 70 bin Mu‘ a dh. Sa‘d decided on their punishment according to the Jewish holy book, the Torah. In the Torah it is stated that the crime of treason shall be punishable by death to the males and enslavement of the women and children. For the crimes of treason, deceit, and breaking a treaty, the Ban u Qurai z ah were punished according to Jewish law, as they had demanded. During this battle, the responsibility for guarding part of the trench was given to Hadrat Ab u Bakr ra and the troops under him. Afterward, a mosque was built on that area, which is called Masjid S idd i q (Mosque of the Truthful).
