We were with 'Umar between Mecca and Medina. He began to tell us about the people of Badr. He said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) showed us where they would fall the day before [the battle], saying: This is the place where so-and-so will be killed, If Allah wills, tomorrow. 'Umar said: By him who sent him with the truth, they did not miss those places. Then they were thrown into a well. Then the Prophet (PBUH) came to them and called out: O so-and-so, son of so-and-so! O so-and-so, son of so-and-so! Have you found what your Lord promised you to be true? I have found what my Lord promised me to be true. 'Umar said: Are you talking to dead bodies?! The Prophet (PBUH) said: You do not hear what I say any better than they do.
