It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Muslims heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) calling out at the well of Badr: "O Abu Jahl bin Hisham! O Utbah bin Rabi'ah! O Shaybah bin Khalaf! Did you find true what your Lord had promised you? As for me, I have found true what my Lord promised me." The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) submitted, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Are you calling out to people who have died?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "You do not hear what I am saying any better than they do, but they cannot respond."
