Sahih al-Bukhari 3980, 3981 (Book 64, Hadith 32) #3807
The Prophet's Question at Badr

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) asked the dead pagans if they had found true what their lord promised them, and then recited a verse from the Quran.

Narrated Ibn 'Umar: The Prophet stood at the well of Badr (which contained the corpses of the pagans) and said, "Have you found true what your lord promised you?" Then he further said, "They now hear what I say". This was mentioned before 'Aisha and she said, "But the Prophet said, 'Now they know very well that what I used to tell them was the truth'. Then she recited (the Holy Verse):-- "You cannot make the dead hear. .till the end of Verse)". (30:52)
حَدَّثَنِي عُثْمَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ وَقَفَ النَّبِيُّ عَلَى قَلِيبِ بَدْرٍ فَقَالَ ‏{‏هَلْ وَجَدْتُمْ مَا وَعَدَ رَبُّكُمْ حَقًّا ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّهُمُ الآنَ يَسْمَعُونَ مَا أَقُولُ‏}‏ فَذُكِرَ لِعَائِشَةَ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّمَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ إِنَّهُمُ الآنَ لَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ الَّذِي كُنْتُ أَقُولُ لَهُمْ هُوَ الْحَقُّ ‏"‏‏.‏ ثُمَّ قَرَأَتْ ‏{‏إِنَّكَ لاَ تُسْمِعُ الْمَوْتَى‏}‏ حَتَّى قَرَأَتِ الآيَةَ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about an event that happened during the Battle of Badr. During this battle, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ asked a question to the dead pagans who were killed in battle. He asked them if they had found true what their Lord promised them. Then he recited a verse from the Quran which states that you cannot make those who are dead hear you until they are resurrected again. This teaches us that even though we may not be able to see or hear God's promises being fulfilled right away, we should still have faith in Him and His promises because He will always keep His word eventually. It also teaches us to never give up hope no matter how difficult things may seem because God will always come through for us in the end.
