خلاصة:
Islamic narrative sources provided different statistics on the number of Jews killed in the Bani Qurayzah battle, mostly between 400 and 900. Except for a few, the other narrations are “mursal” and not musnad. Some historians and scholars have looked at the statistics with confirmation, some have denied them, and some have remained silent about them. In this article, we intend to date the mentioned statements as much as possible based on the method of document-text analysis, and determine the period and context of their emergence. In the next step, using some other narrations related to that battle and related historical information such as the number of tribes, we will analyze and evaluate the statistics. From all the studies, we can conclude that the relevant narrations, at least after the killing of Bani Qurayzah was accepted among Muslims, spread to various Islamic regions such as Mecca, Medina, and Kufa in the first half of the second century, and a little later. It has spread to cities like Baghdad and Basra.

From the overall investigation, it can be understood that the narrations of these statistics, at least after the fact of the Banu Qurayza massacre was accepted among Muslims, spread in the first half of the second century AH in various Islamic regions such as Mecca, Medina, and Kufa, and somewhat later expanded to cities such as Baghdad and Basra.
In the present research, by studying the opinions and narrations related to the number of Banu Qurayza casualties, we aim to analyze them as much as possible based on the document-text analysis method and by utilizing other evidentiary improbabilities, including comparison with other numbers related to historical reports of the early Islamic period, as well as the number and count of tribes, dating, and the context of the emergence and expansion of the mentioned narrations.
Whatever it may be, if the attribution of the narration to Jabir is proven, the probability that the mentioned number is actually close increases, because based on some reports, he participated in other expeditions of the Prophet (PBUH) besides Badr and Uhud 27 and, due to contemporaneity, could have obtained a more accurate assessment of the individuals of Banu Qurayza _even without precise statistics_.
The figure of 400 killed from Banu Qurayza was narrated by Abu al-Zubayr Muhammad ibn Muslim (d.
