What is reported regarding the deceased knowing who visits him

Question:
Does the deceased know who visits him?

Answer:
It is mentioned in some hadiths

If he knows him in this world, Allah returns his soul to him so that he may return the greeting

إذا كان يعرفه في الدنيا رد الله عليه روحه حتى يرد عليه السلام

but there is a concern regarding its chain of narration, and Ibn ‘Abd al-Barr (may Allah have mercy on him) authenticated it.
