حَدَّثَنِى إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ سَلِيطٍ الْهُذَلِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَنَسٌ كُنْتُ مَعَ عُمَرَ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ عُمَرَ بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ فَتَرَاءَيْنَا الْهِلاَلَ وَكُنْتُ رَجُلاً حَدِيدَ الْبَصَرِ فَرَأَيْتُهُ وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ رَآهُ غَيْرِى - قَالَ - فَجَعَلْتُ أَقُولُ لِعُمَرَ أَمَا تَرَاهُ فَجَعَلَ لاَ يَرَاهُ - قَالَ - يَقُولُ عُمَرُ سَأَرَاهُ وَأَنَا مُسْتَلْقٍ عَلَى فِرَاشِى. ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ يُحَدِّثُنَا عَنْ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- كَانَ يُرِينَا مَصَارِعَ أَهْلِ بَدْرِ بِالأَمْسِ يَقُولُ « هَذَا مَصْرَعُ فُلاَنٍ غَدًا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ». قَالَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ فَوَالَّذِى بَعَثَهُ بِالْحَقِّ مَا أَخْطَئُوا الْحُدُودَ الَّتِى حَدَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- - قَالَ - فَجُعِلُوا فِى بِئْرٍ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ فَانْطَلَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ « يَا فُلاَنَ بْنَ فُلاَنٍ وَيَا فُلاَنَ بْنَ فُلاَنٍ هَلْ وَجَدْتُمْ مَا وَعَدَكُمُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ حَقًّا فَإِنِّى قَدْ وَجَدْتُ مَا وَعَدَنِىَ اللَّهُ حَقًّا ». قَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ تُكَلِّمُ أَجْسَادًا لاَ أَرْوَاحَ فِيهَا قَالَ « مَا أَنْتُمْ بِأَسْمَعَ لِمَا أَقُولُ مِنْهُمْ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُمْ لاَ يَسْتَطِيعُونَ أَنْ يَرُدُّوا عَلَىَّ شَيْئًا ».

It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: "We were with 'Umar between Makkah and Al-Madinah, and we looked for the crescent of the new moon. I was a man with keen eyesight, and I saw it, but no one else said that he had seen it. I said to 'Umar: 'Don't you see it?' But he did not see it. 'Umar said: 'I will see it when I am lying on my bed' "Then he started to tell us about the people of Badr. And he said: 'The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) showed us, one day before, where the people of Badr (the Mushrikun) would fall. He said: "This is the place where so-and-so will fall tomorrow, if Allah wills."' 'Umar said: 'By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, they did not miss the places that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) had pointed out. They were put in a well on top of one another, then the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) went to them and said: "O so-and-so son of so-and-so, and O so-and-so son of so-and-so, have you found what Allah and His Messenger promised to be true? For I have found what my Lord promised me to be true."' "Umar said: 'O Messenger of Allah, how can you speak to bodies in which there are no souls?' He said: 'You do not hear what I am saying more clearly than they do, but they cannot give me any reply."'
