Does the bliss of the one who is granted bliss in his grave continue until he enters Paradise?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence, this questioner asks: Does the one who is granted bliss in his grave continue to enjoy that bliss until he enters Paradise, or is it possible that he will be punished on the Day of Resurrection?
Please guide us in light of that.

Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon the Messenger of Allah, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow his guidance. As for what follows:
It is established in the hadiths from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that the deceased is tested in his grave. He is asked about his Lord, his religion, and his Prophet. If he succeeds and gives the correct answer, a door to Paradise is opened for him, and he receives from its bliss, fragrance, and sweetness. His grave becomes a garden for him from the gardens of Paradise, and this bliss continues until he is resurrected on the Day of Resurrection, from his grave to Paradise.
As for the one who does not succeed in the test, such as the one who says, "Ha, ha, I do not know. I heard people saying something, so I said it," then he is punished in his grave, may Allah protect us from that. After that, he is under the will of Allah. If he is among the people of sins, he is under the will of Allah. If he is among the people of disbelief in Allah, he is transferred to the Fire. We ask Allah for safety. If he is among the people of sins, he is under the will, as Allah the Exalted said:
Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He willsإِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَغْفِرُ أَنْ يُشْرَكَ بِهِ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَلِكَ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ
[Al-Nisa: 48]. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you.
