Question:
Does the deceased feel the length of his stay in the grave?
Answer:
Allah knows best about that. It came in the hadith: (peace and blessings be upon him), and they say to him: What do you know about that? He says: I read the Book of Allah and acted upon it, or as it came. Then a caller calls out: Your servant has spoken the truth, so spread for him from Paradise, and open for him a door to Paradise, and expand for him in his grave the distance of his sight. He looks at his home in Paradise and says: O my Lord, establish the Hour. They said to him: It is like the sleep of the bride; nothing makes it pleasant for her except her most beloved among her people. So the period passes and he does not feel it, because he is in bliss and joy. As for the hypocrite and the one who doubts, when the two angels ask him: Who is your Lord? What is your religion? Who is your Prophet? He says: Ha, I do not know. Then a caller calls out: Your servant has lied, so seize him from the Fire. They open for him a door to the Fire, and they make his grave narrow for him until his ribs are distorted. He says: O my Lord, do not establish the Hour. So this is in punishment, in long punishment, and in severe pain, may Allah protect us. And the grave is heated for him with fire, so he is in punishment and is measured in punishment, but with this he wishes that the Hour would not be established, because what is after the establishment of the Hour is worse than what he is in, may Allah protect us. Yes.

Answer:
Allah knows best about that. It came in the hadith:
That the deceased, when he is placed in his grave and the people depart from him after the burial, that he does not hear the beating of the ostrich. Two angels come to him, they make him sit, and they return his soul to his body, then they ask him: Who is your Lord? What is your religion? What is the Prophet? The believer says: My Lord is Allah, and my religion is Islam
أن الميت إذا وضع في قبره وانصرف عنه الناس بعد الدفن أنه لا يسمع قرع نعامه يأتيه ملكان يجلسانه ويرد روحه في جسده ثم يسألانه من ربك وما دينك وما النبي؟ المؤمن يقول ربي الله وديني الإسلامand the Prophet Muhammad (peace
