bukhari:1370 – ʿAlī b. ʿAbdullāh > Yaʿqūb b. Ibrāhīm from my father > Ṣāliḥ > Nāfiʿ > Ibn ʿUmar

The Prophet ﷺ looked at the people of the well (the well in which the bodies of the pagans killed in the Battle of Badr were thrown) and said, "Have you found true what your Lord promised you?" Somebody said to him, "You are addressing dead people." He replied, "You do not hear better than they but they cannot reply."  

البخاري:١٣٧٠ – حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ صَالِحٍ حَدَّثَنِي نَافِعٌ أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ ؓ

أَخْبَرَهُ قَالَ اطَّلَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْقَلِيبِ فَقَالَ وَجَدْتُمْ مَا وَعَدَ رَبُّكُمْ حَقًّا فَقِيلَ لَهُ تَدْعُو أَمْوَاتًا فَقَالَ مَا أَنْتُمْ بِأَسْمَعَ مِنْهُمْ وَلَكِنْ لاَ يُجِيبُونَ
