Atiyyah al-Qurazi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: I was among the captives of Banu Qurayzah. We were presented to the Prophet (ﷺ), and they checked: whoever had grown pubic hair was killed, and whoever had not was spared. They examined me, found no hair, and placed me among the captives.

Note 4
(4) The statement: “Whoever had grown pubic hair was killed”: At-Turbashti said: Pubic hair was considered due to necessity, as asking about wet dreams or age would not yield truthful answers, given the risk of death. Otherwise, pubic hair is not a criterion, contrary to Shafi‘i and a narration from Abu Yusuf. As cited in (Al-Mirqat) and (Radd al-Muhtar).
