The Grave

Is there anyone who is excluded from the punishment of the grave so will not be questioned?

There are those who will not be questioned so will not be tested in the grave.

Firstly: Martyrs of battles

Regarding a man from the companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him), he said: “O Messenger of Allah, why will the believers be tested in their graves except the martyr?”

He said: “The flashing of the swords above his head is trial enough.”[1]

Secondly: Guarding the strongholds of the Muslims for the sake of Allah Almighty

Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Keeping watch for a day and a night is better (in point of reward) than fasting for a whole month and standing in prayer every night. If a person dies (while, performing this duty), his (meritorious) activity will continue and he will go on receiving his reward for it perpetually and will be saved from the torture of the grave..”[2]

- Likewise, the Prophets PBUT, because (people) will be asked about the Prophets so it will be said: “who was your Prophet?”
