Is the deceased taught the testimony of faith after being placed in the grave?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: After the death of the deceased and the prayer over him, is he taught the testimony of faith after being placed in the grave?

Answer:
What has been reported is that he is taught the testimony while in his final moments, while he is still alive, so that he may say, "There is no god but Allah," and that his last words be, "There is no god but Allah." The correct view is that the one whose last words are "There is no god but Allah" enters Paradise. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Teach your dying ones" — meaning those in their final moments —
‘Urge your dying ones to say La ilaha illallah.”لقنوا موتاكم لا إله إلا الله
Sunan Ibn Majah 1444Sahih (Darussalam)
. Indeed, whoever's last words are "There is no god but Allah" enters Paradise. As for after death, it is not possible for him to say "There is no god but Allah" after he has died. There is no authentic evidence that the deceased is taught the testimony after his burial. Something has been reported regarding this, but it is not authentic; it is not authentic. Yes.
