"Have you found what your Lord promised to be true?" he said: "They can hear what I am saying to them now". Mention of that was made to 'Aishah and she said: "Ibn 'Umar is mistaken. Rather the Messenger of Allah said: "Ibn 'Umar is mistaken. Rather the Messenger of Allah said: 'Now they know that what I used to say to them is the truth.' Then she recited: So verily, you (O Muhammad) cannot make the dead to hear., until she recited the verse." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2076)

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَقَفَ عَلَى قَلِيبِ بَدْرٍ فَقَالَ «هَلْ وَجَدْتُمْ مَا وَعَدَ رَبُّكُمْ حَقًّا؟» قَالَ «إِنَّهُمْ لَيَسْمَعُونَ الْآنَ مَا أَقُولُ فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِعَائِشَةَ» فَقَالَتْ وَهَلِ ابْنُ عُمَرَ إِنَّمَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّهُمُ الْآنَ يَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ الَّذِي كُنْتُ أَقُولُ لَهُمْ هُوَ الْحَقُّ ثُمَّ قَرَأَتْ قَوْلَهُ {إِنَّكَ لَا تُسْمِعُ الْمَوْتَى} [النمل 80] حَتَّى قَرَأَتِ الْآيَةَ

bukhari:3978ʿUbayd b. Ismāʿīl > Abū Usāmah > Hishām from his father > Dhukir ʿInd ʿĀʾishah

It was mentioned before ʿAisha that Ibn ʿUmar attributed the following statement to the Prophet ﷺ "The dead person is punished in the grave because of the crying and lamentation Of his family." On that, ʿAisha said, "But Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'The dead person is punished for his crimes and sins while his family cry over him then." She added, "And this is similar to the statement of Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he stood by the (edge of the) well which contained the corpses of the pagans killed at Badr, 'They hear what I say.' She added, "But he said now they know very well what I used to tell them was the truth." ʿAisha then recited: 'You cannot make the dead hear.' (30.52) and 'You cannot make those who are in their Graves, hear you.' (35.22) that is, when they had taken their places in the (Hell) Fire.

The Prophet ﷺ stood at the well of Badr (which contained the corpses of the pagans) and said, "Have you found true what your lord promised you?" Then he further said, "They now hear what I say." This was mentioned before ʿAisha and she said, "But the Prophet ﷺ said, 'Now they know very well that what I used to tell them was the truth.' Then she recited (the Holy Verse):-- "You cannot make the dead hear... ...till the end of Verse)." (30.52)

[Machine] He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood on the mound on the day of Badr and said, "O So-and-so, O So-and-so, have you found what your Lord promised you to be true? By Allah, now they are hearing my words." Yahya said, "Aisha said, 'May Allah forgive Abu Abdur-Rahman (Yahya). He is talking nonsense. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'By Allah, now they know that what I used to say to them was true, and Allah, the Most High, says, "Verily, you cannot make the dead hear" [An-Naml: 80] and "You cannot make the dead hear" [Fatir: 22].'"
