The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "When the deceased - or he said when one of you - is buried, two angels, black and blue eyed come to him. One of them is called Al-Munkar, and the other An-Nakir.
.
They say: 'What you use to say about this man?'
.
So he says what he was saying (before death) 'He is Allah's slave and His Messenger. I testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammed is His slave and His Messenger.'
.
So they say: 'we knew that you would say this.'
.
Then his grave is expanded to seventy by seventy cubits, then it is illuminated for him.
.
Then it is said to him: 'Sleep.'
.
So he say: 'Can I return to my family to inform them?'
.
They say: 'Sleep as a newlywed, whom none awakens but the dearest of his family.'
.
Untill Allah resurrects him from his resting place."
.
"If he was a hypocrite he would say: 'I heard people saying something, so I said the same; I do not know.'
.
So they say: 'we knew you would say that.'
.
So the earth is told: 'Constrict him.'
.
So it constricts around him, squeezing his rib together. He continues being punished like that until Allah resurrects him from his resting place." (At-Tirmidhi)
