According to the tradition, Muhammad, as was common practice in the region as the time, endorsed and ordered the use of burning, crucifixion, amputation, and other physical torments, both as punishments for his enemies and in order to gain information. These punishments were all common and practiced by the neighboring Byzantine Empire, Sassanid Empire and the Arab kings and warlords of the time.

- According to Ibn Humayd--Salamah--Ibn Ishaq--Muhammad b. Ja'far b. al-Zubayr: When the Messenger of God saw Hamzah in that condition, he said, "If it were not that Safiyyah would grieve, or that it would become a sunnah (standard practice) after me, I would leave him so that he would find his way into the bellies of wild beasts or the crops of birds. If God gives me victory over Quraysh at any time, I shall mutilate thirty of their men!" When the Muslims saw the grief and rage of the Messenger of God at what had been done to his uncle, they said, "By God, if one day we are victorious over them, we shall mutilate them in a way which none of the Arabs has ever mutilated anybody."

- According to Ibn Ishaq: Kinanah b. al-Rabi` b. Abi al-Huqayq, who had the treasure of the Banu al-Nadir, was brought to the Messenger of God, who questioned him; but he denied knowing where it was. Then the Messenger of God was brought a Jew who said to him, "I have seen Kinanah walk around this ruin every morning." The Messenger of God said to Kinanah: "What do you say? If we find it in your possession, I will kill you." "All right," he answered. The Messenger of God commanded that the ruin should be dug up, and some of the treasure was extracted from it. Then he asked him for the rest of it. Kinanah refused to surrender it; so the Messenger of God gave orders concerning him to al-Zubayr b. al-'Awwam, saying, "Torture him until you root out what he has." Al-Zubayr kept twirling his firestick in his breast until Kinanah almost expired; then the Messenger of God gave him to Muhammad b. Maslamah, who beheaded him to avenge his brother Mahmud b. Maslamah.
