Muhammad: Victory and Deathversions of the accounts, Buhl (Muhammeds, p. 279) thinks it more
probable that no one converted at Dumat al-Jandal in this incident, but that
they all agreed to pay the "jizya."

[99] The traditions in Sahih Bukhari (vol. 1, p. 148; vol. 5, p. 354, vol. 6,
pp. 106 f) state that the shepherd was simply killed. Ibn Hisham claims that
they killed the shepherd and stuck thorns in his eyes. Waqidi gives that the
shepherd was killed in the cruellest manner, and Ibn Sad maintains that the shepherd had his hands and feet cut off, and thorns were stuck in his eyes and tongue. The progressive modifications of the narrative in this matter, by which the atrocities done to Muhammad's shepherd become more and more graphic, seem to aim at justifying Muhammad's torture of theUrayna.
[100] Sahih Bukhari (vol. 1, p. 148, vol. 5, p. 354) gives traditions by
which Muhammad burned out their eyes with iron. Waqidi gives a tradition
in which it is said that Muhammad did not gouge out their eyes.
