Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Does the Angel of Death ask the servant when he dies or after he is buried?
Answer:
But the Angel of Death does not ask the servant; he is only commanded to take his soul. The ones who ask the servant in the grave are the two, Munkar and Nakir. They are the ones who ask the deceased when he is placed in his grave and the earth is piled over him; they come to him and ask him.
