2671 - Abdullah ibn Muhammad al-Nufayli narrated to us, Muhammad ibn Salamah narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn Ishaq, who said: Muhammad ibn Ja'far ibn al-Zubayr narrated to me, from 'Urwah ibn al-Zubayr, from 'A'ishah, who said: No woman of them — meaning Banu Qurayzah — was killed except one woman. She was with me, talking and laughing heartily, while the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was killing their men with swords, when suddenly a caller called out her name: "Where is so-and-so?" She said: "Here I am." I said: "What is the matter with you?" She said: "A deed I committed." She said: So she was taken away, and her neck was struck. I cannot forget my amazement at her — that she was laughing heartily while knowing that she would be killed.

=============================================
It is also in "Sunan Sa'id ibn Mansur" (2624).
Al-Tirmidhi (1674) also transmitted it via the path of Sa'id ibn Bashir, from Qatadah, from him. He said: This hadith is hasan sahih. Al-Hajjaj ibn Artah also narrated it from Qatadah similarly.
It is in "Musnad Ahmad" (20145).

Al-Khattabi said: "Al-sharkh" here is the plural of sharikh, meaning one of youthful age. It is said: sharikh and sharkh, just as they said: rakil and rakb, and sahib and sahb. By it they mean the young boys and those who have not yet reached the age of men. And "al-shuyukh" here means the elderly. When it is said: sharkh al-shabab, its meaning is the beginning of youth. Hassan said:
Indeed the prime of youth and black hair — if not accompanied by restraint — is madness.

(1) Its chain is hasan on account of Muhammad ibn Ishaq — and he is Ibn Yasar al-Muttalibi, author of the Prophetic biography — and he explicitly stated that he heard it, so any suspicion of tadlis is removed. Muhammad ibn Salamah: he is al-Harrani, and Abdullah ibn Muhammad al-Nufayli: he is Ibn Ali ibn Nufayl al-Harrani.
It is in "The Prophetic Biography" of Ibn Hisham 3/252-253.
Ahmad also transmitted it (26364), and al-Tabari in his "Tafsir" 21/153-154, and in his "History" 2/102, and al-Hakim 3/35-36, and al-Bayhaqi in "Al-Sunan" 9/82, and in "Ma'rifat al-Sunan" (18018), and Ibn Abd al-Barr in "Al-Tamhid" 16/141-142, via the path of Muhammad ibn Ishaq, with this chain.
