حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ صَالِحٍ حَدَّثَنِي نَافِعٌ أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَخْبَرَهُ قَالَ اطَّلَعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَی أَهْلِ الْقَلِيبِ فَقَالَ وَجَدْتُمْ مَا وَعَدَ رَبُّکُمْ حَقًّا فَقِيلَ لَهُ تَدْعُو أَمْوَاتًا فَقَالَ مَا أَنْتُمْ بِأَسْمَعَ مِنْهُمْ وَلَکِنْ لَا يُجِيبُونَ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 1370
Narrated Ibn `Umar: The Prophet 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."
