Ibn Ishaq (pronounced Isaac), the first biographer of Muhammad narrates the story of the conquest of Kheibar. He reports that Muhammad, without warning, raided this fortress town, inhabited by Jews and killed many unarmed people as they were fleeing. Among those captured was Kinana. He writes:
What brought you here?:
Was Muhammad a torturer? Did Muhammad kill those he enslaved? On Muhammad's raids did he torture and kill his enemies?
