What is the ruling on one who cites the statement of Allah the Exalted: “And We will surely make them taste of the lesser punishment” as proof that it is a punishment in this world, and that “min” (from) indicates partiality, so that the remainder is in the punishment of the grave?

The student: Some of them cite this verse as proof.

The Shaykh : Which verse?
The student: Some of them cite it as proof of the punishment of the grave, saying: The lesser punishment is the punishment of this world, but in the verse indicates partiality, so on this basis, a remainder of the punishment remains for them, and they are punished in the grave.

The Shaykh : No, no, this is for specification, it is a specifying “min” , a specifying “min.” This is the most likely interpretation. It is permissible that it indicates partiality, and that We will make them taste some of the lesser punishment. There is no need, meaning, to establish the punishment of the grave—praise be to Allah—because it has come in explicit verses. We do not need to come to it with a verse that is susceptible to this and that, and it is stronger in other places. ... in this world, it has no ... at all.
