Is the believer who has shortcomings and some sins treated in the grave like the hypocrite?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: We have learned that the people in the grave are divided into two groups: believers and disbelievers. The question is: What is the fate of the sincere believer in his faith with Allah? He had no hypocrisy in him, but he had shortcomings and some sins and disobedience. Is he treated like the believer or like the hypocrite sinner?

Answer:
The punishment of the grave is for the disbeliever, for the hypocrite, and for the disobedient believers. So the disobedient believers may be punished in their graves, but their punishment is not like the punishment of the disbelievers and the hypocrites. They may be punished for a period and then their punishment ends. This is from the trials, from the trials by which the believer is purified. He may be punished in his grave as a purification for him, but it is not like the punishment of the hypocrite and the punishment of the disbeliever. Yes.
