Muhammad married Safiyya, a woman from a Jewish tribe:
Bani Al-Nadhir was one of the Jewish tribes who betrayed Muhammad and worked against him. After Muhammad besieged them in their city Khaybar, they surrendered.
Safiyya, the daughter of their leader was amongst those who were captured. Muhammad released her and proposed marriage to her. Safiyya accepted and they were married.
Muhammad proved to all people that he had nothing against the Jewish community but aggressors had to be stopped regardless of their race or faith.
On several occasions and even after Muhammad passed away, Safiyya described him as a loving and fair husband.
(Tirmithi, 6/188, 3894. Musnad Ahmad, 5/2609, 12587)
