أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ کُنَّا مَعَ عُمَرَ بَيْنَ مَکَّةَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ أَخَذَ يُحَدِّثُنَا عَنْ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيُرِينَا مَصَارِعَهُمْ بِالْأَمْسِ قَالَ هَذَا مَصْرَعُ فُلَانٍ إِنْ شَائَ اللَّهُ غَدًا قَالَ عُمَرُ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَهُ بِالْحَقِّ مَا أَخْطَئُوا تِيکَ فَجُعِلُوا فِي بِئْرٍ فَأَتَاهُمْ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَنَادَی يَا فُلَانُ بْنَ فُلَانٍ يَا فُلَانُ بْنَ فُلَانٍ هَلْ وَجَدْتُمْ مَا وَعَدَ رَبُّکُمْ حَقًّا فَإِنِّي وَجَدْتُ مَا وَعَدَنِي اللَّهُ حَقًّا فَقَالَ عُمَرُ تُکَلِّمُ أَجْسَادًا لَا أَرْوَاحَ فِيهَا فَقَالَ مَا أَنْتُمْ بِأَسْمَعَ لِمَا أَقُولُ مِنْهُمْ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 2080
It was narrated that Anas said: “We were with Umar between Makkah and Al-Madinah, when he started to tell us about the people of Badr. He said: ‘The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم showed us the day before where they (the disbelievers) 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 Prophetcame to them and called out: so-and-so, son of so-and-so! so- and-so, son of so-and-so! Have you found what your Lord promised to be true? For 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.” (Sahih)
