Sa'd was in Medina when the Meccan army sieged Medina with 10 000 men . During that event, he wsa was mortally wounded.
After the Meccan alliance left Medina unsuccessfully, the Muslims sieged Banu Qurayza, since they had plotted with the Meccans A Life of Mahomet and History of Islam to the Era of the Hegira, volume 3, page.. The Banu Qurayza surrendered unconditionally after several weeks of siege. Several members of the Banu Aus pleaded for their old allies and Sa'd as one of their chiefs was appointed judge in this matter. He decreed that all adult male members of the tribe should be killed and all women and children enslaved.
The judgement was given as per the Jewish Torah Law
Deutronomy 20, 10 -16
"10 When you march up to attack a city, make its people an offer of peace.
11 If they accept and open their gates, all the people in it shall be subject to forced labor and shall work for you.
12 If they refuse to make peace and they engage you in battle, lay siege to that city.
13 When the LORD your God delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the men in it.
14 As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves. And you may use the plunder the LORD your God gives you from your enemies.
15 This is how you are to treat all the cities that are at a distance from you and do not belong to the nations nearby.
16 However, in the cities of the nations the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes.
Sa'd died shortly after his verdict.
writes:
He dutifully served as a member of the Muslim community and even commandeered military campaigns for the Prophet during his lifetime. Saad is said to have been a stern and passionate man, willing to impulsively fight for what he believed in. In Muslim history, he is well-regarded as a noble companion who enjoyed a close relationship with the Prophet.
Since the Jews did not follow Islam but the Torah therefore Saad gave the verdict as per the Torah
