"عن أنس قال: أخذ عمر يحدثنا عن أهل بدرٍ، قال: إن كان رسول الله ﷺ ليرينا مصارِعَهم بالأمسِ، يقول: هذا مصرعُ فلانٍ غدًا إن شاء الله، وهذا مصرعُ فلانٍ غدا إن شاء الله، فَجُعِلُوا يُصْرعَون عَلَيها، قلت: والذي بعثك بالحق ما أخطأوا (*)؟ كانوا يصرعُون عليها، ثم أمر بهم فطرحوا في بئر، فانطلق إليهم، يا فُلَانُ: هل وجدتم ما وعدَكُم الله حقّا؟ قلت: يا رسولَ الله: أَتُكَلِّمُ قَوْمًا قد جَيَّفُوا؟ قال: ما أنتم بأسمع لما أقول منهم، ولكن لا يستطيعون أن يجيبوا".
"We were with 'Umar between Makkah and Al-Madinah, when he strted to tell us about the people of Badr. He said: The Messenger of Allah showed us the day before where they (the disbelivers) would fall. He said: This is the place where so-and-so will fall tomorrow, if Allah wills.' 'Umar said: 'By the One Who sent him with the truth! They did not miss those places, They were placed in a well and the Prophet came to them and called out: O so-and-so, son of so-and-so! O so-and-so, son of so-andso! Have you found what your Lord promised to be true? Of I have found what allah promised me to be true. 'Umar said: 'Are you speaking to bodies in which there are no souls?' He said: 'You do not hear what I say any better than they do."'
كُنَّا مَعَ عُمَرَ بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ أَخَذَ يُحَدِّثُنَا عَنْ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَيُرِينَا مَصَارِعَهُمْ بِالأَمْسِ قَالَ هَذَا مَصْرَعُ فُلاَنٍ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ غَدًا قَالَ عُمَرُ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَهُ بِالْحَقِّ مَا أَخْطَئُوا تِيكَ فَجُعِلُوا فِي بِئْرٍ فَأَتَاهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَنَادَى يَا فُلاَنُ بْنَ فُلاَنٍ يَا فُلاَنُ بْنَ فُلاَنٍ هَلْ وَجَدْتُمْ مَا وَعَدَ رَبُّكُمْ حَقًّا فَإِنِّي وَجَدْتُ مَا وَعَدَنِي اللَّهُ حَقًّا فَقَالَ عُمَرُ تُكَلِّمُ أَجْسَادًا لاَ أَرْوَاحَ فِيهَا فَقَالَ مَا أَنْتُمْ بِأَسْمَعَ لِمَا أَقُولُ مِنْهُمْ
We were with 'Umar between Makkah and Madinah, and we looked for the new crescent moon. I was sharp sighted and I saw it, and I started saying to ‘Umar, Don't you see it? He said: I will see it when I am lying in my bed. Then he started telling us about the people of Badr. He said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was showing us the places where they would fall (in battle), saying: “This is where So and so will fall in battle tomorrow, if Allah wills; this is where So and so will fall in battle tomorrow, if Allah wills.” And they started to fall in those places, I said: By the One who sent you with the truth, they did not miss those places; they fell in those places. Then he ordered that they be thrown into a well, and he went to them and said: ʿO So and so, O So and so, did you find what Allah promised you to be true? For I found what Allah promised me to be true.ʿ 'Umar said: O Messenger of Allah ﷺ , are you speaking to people who are now dead? He said: ʿYou do not hear what I am saying any better than they do, but they cannot answer.ʿ
