Do we announce the Fire to every grave of a disbeliever?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whenever you pass by the grave of an idolater, give him the tidings of Hell-fire إذا مررتم بقبر كافر فبشره بالنار
Sunan Ibn Majah 1573Da’if (Darussalam)
. Is this ... on his grave?

The Shaykh : The hadith is about the grave of a disbeliever and not ...?

The questioner : A disbeliever.

The Shaykh : A disbeliever? I do not know. The one I remember ...; and what is meant by that is those against whom the proof has been established. As for one against whom the proof has not been established, we do not announce the Fire to him. For example, there are people who claim that these are the graves of so-and-so and so-and-so, and we do not know that the proof was established against them, so we do not testify to them regarding the Fire.
