The answer

The torment and bliss of the grave are affirmed by the Qur’an, the , and the consensus of the early Muslims (Salaf). This (torment/bliss) is upon the soul, and it may connect with the body. A multitude of good deeds does not prevent the torment of the grave, as a Muslim may be punished for a single sin, even if their good deeds are numerous. The final reckoning will be at the end. Among the wisdoms behind not having a weighing of deeds at the time of death are: to lighten sins through torment for their expiation, to settle accounts between people, and for continuous good deeds and ongoing sins to accrue after death.
