- There is no Ayah IMO, only Ahadeeth http://www.islamdoor.com/k/41.htm
- This tells you exactly what happens from the instant you die, and when you are in the grave~
- Allah has said in this regard (Interpretation of meaning): (While an evil torment encompassed Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) people. The Fire; they are exposed to it, morning and afternoon, and on the Day when the Hour will be established (it will be said to the angels): "Cause Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) people to enter the severest torment). [ 40: 45-46]. This verse clearly proves the torment in the grave before the Day of Resurrection. 2 - Allah Says (Interpretation of meaning): (And if you could but see when the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrongdoers, etc.) are in the agonies of death, while the angels are stretching forth their hands (saying): "Deliver your souls! This day you shall be recompensed with the torment of degradation because of what you used to utter against Allâh other than the truth.) .[6:93] Imams Bukhari and Muslim narrated the Prophet Muhammad (Blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) once, while passing by two graves, remarked and said: "Those two persons are being tortured not for a major sin (to avoid). One of them never saved himself from being soiled with his urine while the other used to go about with calumnies (to make enmity between friends)".. May Allah keep us all safe from athab-e-kaber,,ameen~!
- The Qur’an speaks of the punishment of the grave in a most distinct fashion. “A fire to which they are exposed morning and evening. And the Day the Final Hour will occur, (it will be proclaimed): "Admit the Pharaohnites in the severest of torments.” (Surah Mu’min, verse 46) In this Ayah, Allah specifies the manner in which Fir’oun and his people will be dealt with in their graves. They will be tormented in this way even before the day of Qiyamah, as understood from the Ayah. Allamah Ibne Katheer, while commenting on this very same verse explains that it is entirely in support of the view held by the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama’ah that ‘Athab-ul-Qabar is an undeniable fact. This punishment will be unleashed upon the disbelievers and sinful believers in the second stage of life known as ‘Aalam-ul-Barzagh. Ayesha (R.A.) reports that once a Jewish lady informed her that “We (the Jews) seek protection from the punishment of the grave.” On learning this Ayesha (R.A.) questioned the Nabi of Allah (S.A.W.) with regards to ‘Athab-ul-Qabar. Nabi (S.A.W.) firmly responded: “Yes, ‘Athab-ul-Qabar is true.” Ayesha (R.A.) says that thereafter Nabi (S.A.W.) always sought protection from the punishment of the grave on completing his prayers. (Mishkat, Page 25 with reference to Saheeh Bukhari and Muslim) On one occasion the prophet of Allah (S.A.W.) passed by two graves. He thereafter remarked: “The inmates of these graves are subjected to punishment and they are being punished for acts which are not regarded as major. As for the first, he never used to purify himself after urinating. The second is being punished for engaging in gossip.” (Sharhul Aqaaidin Nasafiyyah, Page 99-100, Sharhu ‘Aqeedatit Tahawiyah, Vol. 2, Page 132)
