Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : In any case, the punishment of the grave is established by the Qur'an, and it is established by the mass-transmitted Sunnah among the Muslims. What is this mass-transmitted Sunnah among the Muslims? Stand up?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : No, rest, rest!

The Shaykh : And what is it?
The student :
Seek refuge with Allah from five things: From the torment of Hell, the torment of the grave, the trials of life and death اللهم إني أعوذ بك من عذاب جهنم وعذاب القبر وفتنة المحيا والممات
Sunan an-Nasa'i 5511Sahih (Darussalam)
..

The Shaykh : Well done! Perfect! We all recite this hadith, my brothers, and we recited it just a moment ago:
let him seek refuge with Allah from four things: From the torment of Hell, from the torment of the grave, from the trials of life and death, and from the Fitnah (tribulation) of Masihud-Dajjal. أعوذ بالله من عذاب جهنم ومن عذاب القبر ومن فتنة المحيا والممات ومن فتنة المسيح الدجال
Sunan Ibn Majah 909Sahih (Darussalam)
Everyone recites it in their prayers. So, is it mass-transmitted among the Muslims or not? It is mass-transmitted. Can we say, "I seek refuge in Allah from the punishment of the grave," when there is no punishment in the grave? It is not possible. Therefore, the punishment of the grave is established by the Qur'an, and brother? Move! And by the mass-transmitted Sunnah in practice among the Muslims in our saying:
I seek refuge in you from the punishment of Hell, and from the punishment of the grave أعوذ بالله من عذاب جهنم ومن عذاب القبر
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3494Sahih (Darussalam)
. Rest
