It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came and stood by the well on the day of the Battle of Badr, in which the bodies of the chiefs of Quraysh were thrown, and he began to call them, saying: "O people of the well! Did you find the promise of your Lord to be true?" Some of the noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! Are you calling out to the dead?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You do not hear what I am saying to them any better than they do."
