3979. 'Aishah added, "And this is similar to the statement of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ when he stood by the (edge of the) well which contained the corpses of Al-Mushrikūn killed at Badr and said, 'They hear what I say.' She added, "But he said: 'Now they know very well what I used to tell them was the truth.' " 'Aishah then recited: "So verily, you (O Muḥammad ﷺ) cannot make the dead to hear..." (V.30:52). "...But you cannot make hear those who are in graves." (V.35:22) that is, when they had taken their places in the (Hell) Fire.

Arabic text

٣٩٧٩ - قَالَتْ: وَذَاكَ مِثْلُ قَوْلِهِ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَامَ عَلَى الْقَلِيبِ وَفِيهِ قَتْلَى بَدْرٍ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ مَا قَالَ: إِنَّهُمْ لَيَسْمَعُونَ مَا أَقُولُ. إِنَّمَا قَالَ: إِنَّهُمُ الْآنَ لَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ مَا كُنْتُ أَقُولُ لَهُمْ حَقٌّ. ثُمَّ قَرَأَتْ: ﴿إِنَّكَ لا تُسْمِعُ الْمَوْتَى﴾ ﴿وَمَا أَنْتَ بِمُسْمِعٍ مَنْ فِي الْقُبُورِ﴾ يَقُولُ: حِينَ تَبَوَّؤُوا مَقَاعِدَهُمْ مِنَ النَّارِ».
