Sahih al-Bukhari 1323 (Book 23, Hadith 123)

Narrated `Aisha: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “They now realize that what I used to tell them was the truth. “And Allah said,
‘Verily! You cannot make the dead to hear (i.e. benefit them, and similarly the disbelievers) nor can
you make the deaf hear. (27.80).

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ إِنَّمَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏”‏ إِنَّهُمْ لَيَعْلَمُونَ الآنَ أَنَّ مَا كُنْتُ أَقُولُ حَقٌّ وَقَدْ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى ‏{‏إِنَّكَ لاَ تُسْمِعُ الْمَوْتَى‏}‏‏”‏
