The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم 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 عز وجل promised us to be true; have you found what your Lord عز وجل promised to be true?” The hypocrites replied: "The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم 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).'"
