Anas Bin Malik reported: We were along with Umar between Mecca and Medina that we began to look for the new moon. And I was a man with sharp eye- sight; so I could see it; but none except me saw it. I began to say to Umar: Dont you see it? But he would not see it. Thereupon Umar said: I would soon be able to see it when it will shine more brightly. I lay upon bed. He then made a mention of the people of Badr to us and said: Allah Messenger ﷺ showed us one day before the actual battle the place of death of the people participating in the Battle of Badr and he was saying: This would be the place of death of so and so tomorrow; if Allah wills. Umar said: By Him Who sent him with truth; they did not miss the places of their death which Allah Messenger ﷺ had pointed for them. Then they were all thrown in a well one after another. Allah Messenger ﷺ then went to them and said: O; so and so; the son of so and so; O so and so; the son of so and so; have you found correct what Allah and His Messenger had promised you? I have; however; found absolutely true what Allah had promised with me. Umar said: Allah Messenger; how are you talking with the bodies without soul in them. Thereupon he said: You cannot hear more distinctly than their hearing of what I say; but with this exception that they have not power to make any reply.
