وَبِالْإِسْنَادِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى الْمَوْصِلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ:
كُنَّا عِنْدَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، بِالْمَدِينَةِ، فَتَرَاءَيْنَا الْهِلَالَ، وَكُنْتُ رَجُلًا حَدِيدَ الْبَصَرِ، فَرَأَيْتُهُ وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ رَآهُ غَيْرِي، قَالَ: فَجَعَلْتُ أَقُولُ لِعُمَرَ: أَمَا تَرَاهُ ؟ فَجَعَلَ لَا يَرَاهُ، قَالَ: يَقُولُ عُمَرُ: سَأَرَاهُ وَأَنَا مُسْتَلْقٍ عَلَى فِرَاشِي، ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ يُحَدِّثُنَا عَنْ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ، قَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُرِينَا مَصَارِعَ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ بِالْأَمْسِ، قَالَ: يَقُولُ: هَذَا مَصْرَعُ فُلَانٍ غَدًا إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: فَوَالَّذِي بَعَثَهُ بِالْحَقِّ مَا أَخْطَؤُوا الْحُدُودَ الَّتِي حَدَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، قَالَ: فَجُعِلُوا فِي بِئْرٍ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ، فَانْطَلَقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ: يَا فُلَانُ بْنَ فُلَانٍ، وَيَا فُلَانُ بْنَ فُلَانٍ، هَلْ وَجَدْتُمْ مَا وَعَدَكُمُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ حَقًّا ؟ فَإِنِّي قَدْ وَجَدْتُ مَا وَعَدَنِي اللهُ حَقًّا، قَالَ عُمَرُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، تُكَلِّمُ أَجْسَادًا لَا أَرْوَاحَ فِيهَا ؟ فَقَالَ: مَا أَنْتُمْ بِأَسْمَعَ لِمَا أَقُولُ مِنْهُمْ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُمْ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ أَنْ يَرُدُّوا عَلَيَّ شَيْئًا

✧ We were with Umar b. al-Khattab in Madinah. We sighted the new moon. I was a man of sharp sight, and I saw it while no one else claimed to have seen it. I kept saying to Umar: 'Do you not see it?' but he could not see it. Umar said: 'I will see it while lying on my bed.' Then he began to tell us about the people of Badr, saying: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ showed us the places where the people of Badr would fall the day before, saying: 'This is where so-and-so will fall tomorrow, if Allah wills.' Umar said: By the One who sent him with the truth, they did not miss the spots that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had marked. They were thrown into a well, one on top of another. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went until he reached 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 you to be true? For I have found what Allah promised me to be true.' Umar said: 'O Messenger of Allah, do you speak to bodies without souls?' He said: 'You are not more able to hear what I say than they are, except that they cannot reply to me.'
