Hadith 536
۞
Hadith.536 - The Messenger of Allah (sw) stood over the bodies of those killed at Badr, having gathered them into a well/pit, and said:
“O’ inhabitants of the well, we have found what our Lord (azj) promised us to be true; have you found what your Lord (azj) promised to be true?”
The hypocrites replied: "The Messenger of Allah (sw) is speaking to the dead?"
He then turned to them and said: "If they were permitted to speak, they would say, 'Indeed, the best provision is taqwā (God-consciousness).'"
536 - وَ وَقَفَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ عَلَى اَلْقَتْلَى بِبَدْرٍ وَ قَدْ جَمَعَهُمْ فِي قَلِيبٍ فَقَالَ «يَا أَهْلَ اَلْقَلِيبِ إِنَّا «قَدْ وَجَدْنٰا مٰا وَعَدَنٰا رَبُّنٰا حَقًّا فَهَلْ وَجَدْتُمْ مٰا وَعَدَ رَبُّكُمْ حَقًّا» » فَقَالَ اَلْمُنَافِقُونَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ يُكَلِّمُ اَلْمَوْتَى فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ «لَوْ أُذِنَ لَهُمْ فِي اَلْكَلاَمِ لَقَالُوا نَعَمْ وَ إِنَّ «خَيْرَ اَلزّٰادِ اَلتَّقْوىٰ».
