Allah’s Messenger ﷺ let the dead bodies of the unbelievers who fought in Badr (lie unburied) for three days. He then came to them and sat by their side and called them and said: O Abu Jahl b. Hisham, O Umayya b. Khalaf, O Utba b. Rab’ila, O Shaiba b. Rabi’a, have you not found what your Lord had promised with you to be correct? As for me, I have found the promises of my Lord to be (perfectly) correct. Umar listened to the words of Allah’s Apostle ﷺ and said: Allah’s Messenger, how do they listen and respond to you? They are dead and their bodies have decayed. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: By Him in Whose Hand is my life, what I am saying to them, even you cannot hear more distinctly than they, but they lack the power to reply. Then’he commanded that they should be buried in the well of Badr.[Sahih Muslim, Hadith # 6869]
Narrated Ibn Shihab:These were the battles of Allah’s Apostle
(which he fought), and while mentioning (the Badr battle) he said, “While
the corpses of the pagans were being thrown into the well, Allah’s Apostle said
(to them), ‘Have you found what your Lord promised true?” ‘Abdullah said,
“Some of the Prophet’s companions said, “O Allah’s Apostle! You are
addressing dead people.’ Allah’s Apostle replied, ‘You do not hear what I am
saying, better than they.'[Sahih Bukhari, Book 59, Number 360]

Where are you taking it (me)?’ And his voice is audible to everything except human beings; and if they heard it they would fall down unconscious.”(Sahih Bukhari, Volume 2, Book 23, Number 462
