The Duration of the Deceased's Stay in the Grave
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
O Shaykh! I love you for the sake of Allah,And indeed, one of the imams of the mosques said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The duration of the stay of the believing deceased in his grave, Allah makes it for him like the time of the 'Asr or Zuhr prayer. Is this correct?
May Allah love you, for you loved us for His sake, and we ask Allah to make us all loving one another for His sake.
Know that time passes quickly for the deceased, as if it is nothing.
And Allah caused a man to die for a hundred years, so when He resurrected him, he said: How long did you stay? What did he say? [al-Baqarah: 259] And it was a hundred years! A day or part of a day;Because Allah said: For Allah caused him to die at the beginning of the day and brought him to life at the end of the day.
And the People of the Cave stayed in their cave for three hundred years and increased by nine, and that is sleep, and sleep is not like death; rather, death is faster in the passing of time. And those who died and have been there for millions of years, you find them as if nothing has passed for them, as if they died just now. So whoever is in bliss, you find time passing quickly for him, and much faster; but for the one in torment, time slows down for him, and time becomes long for him. We ask Allah for safety. And this is something observed, even Ibn Khaldun, who is considered one of the wise men of the narrators, says: The days of security and the days of comfort pass quickly, and the days of hunger and the days of wars and trials are long.
And this is correct.
So I say to you, my brother: All the buried, when the Day of Resurrection comes, it is as if they: [al-Naziat: 46] ,And for this reason, the criminals say: [Ya-Sin: 52] As if it were a resting place.
So the result, may Allah bless you! I do not know about this hadith whether it is authentic or not;But I say to you: The duration disappears quickly, faster than the blink of an eye, and Allah knows best.
May Allah love you, for you loved us for His sake, and we ask Allah to make us all loving one another for His sake.

I have remained a day or part of a day
لَبِثْتُ يَوْماً أَوْ بَعْضَ يَوْمٍAnd the People of the Cave stayed in their cave for three hundred years and increased by nine, and that is sleep, and sleep is not like death; rather, death is faster in the passing of time. And those who died and have been there for millions of years, you find them as if nothing has passed for them, as if they died just now.

So I say to you, my brother: All the buried, when the Day of Resurrection comes, it is as if they:
had not remained [in the world] except for an afternoon or a morning thereof.
لَمْ يَلْبَثُوا إِلَاّ عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَاهَاO woe to us! Who has raised us up from our sleeping place?
يَا وَيْلَنَا مَنْ بَعَثَنَا مِنْ مَرْقَدِنَاSo the result, may Allah bless you! I do not know about this hadith whether it is authentic or not;But I say to you: The duration disappears quickly, faster than the blink of an eye, and Allah knows best.
