The soul's share of the punishment or the pleasure of the grave is more


 بـسـم الله والحـمـد لله والـصلاة والـسـلام عــلى رسـول الله، وبـعـد

Shaikh Ibn Baaz رحمه الله said:

The soul’s share from the pleasure and the punishment in the grave is more, whereas the body only shares a part of it. But on the Day of Judgment, both the soul and the body (will have equal the share of the pleasure or the punishment).

Shaikh Ibn Baaz رحمه الله also said:

In regards to the questioning in the grave and the condition of the dead person – then (know) that the questioning will be real – (Allaah تعالى causes) the soul of the dead person to return to him. Authentic Ahaadeeth have been narrated from the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم in this regards. The dead person experiences a type of life other than the life that he used to live before death. This is a special life known as Barzakh (the period after death and before the Resurrection) which is different that the life of this world - in (this life) a person is in need of food and drink and other than that. Rather, in this special life (of Barzakh), (Allaah تعالى gives him) life in the sense that he becomes only able to understand the question and answer, then his soul leaves his body and ascends to `lliyyeen (heaven) if he was a Believer (and a pious person); but if he is from the people of Hell, then he will descend in the Fire. [Majmoo` Fataawa wa Maqaalaat (Vol. 3, pg 338)]

The evidence for this are the Ahaadeeth that the bodies of the human beings - except for the bodies of the Prophets and Messengers - start to decay till nothing is left except the coccyx bone:

Narrated Al–A`mash: Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه said: Allaah’s Apostle صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “Between the two sounds of the trumpet, there will be forty.” Somebody asked Abu Hurairah, “Forty days?” But he refused to reply. Then he asked, “Forty months?” He refused to reply. Then he asked, “Forty years?” Again, he refused to reply. Abu Hurairah added. “Then (after this period) Allaah will send water from the sky and then the dead bodies will grow like vegetation grows, There is nothing of the human body that does not decay except one bone; that is the little bone at the end of the coccyx of which the human body will be recreated on the Day of Resurrection.” [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (4862, 4985) and Saheeh Muslim (7603)]

Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه reported so many Ahaadeeth from Allaah’s Apostle صلى الله عليه وسلم and amongst these one was this that Allaah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “There is a bone in the human being which the earth would never consume and it is from this that new bodies would be reconstituted (on the Day of Resurrection).” They said: Allaah’s Messenger, which bone is that? Thereupon he صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “It is the little bone at the end of the coccyx.” [Saheeh Muslim (7605)]
