Is there a hadith mentioned about a Muslim expanding his grave through certain actions?
The most important reasons for the expansion of the grave are the realization of Tawhid (monotheism), complete submission to Allah, reciting the Quran and acting upon it, and following the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. The hadiths of Anas, Abu Hurairah, and Al-Bara' bin Azib mention that when the believer is questioned about his Lord, his religion, and his Prophet, and he answers truthfully, his grave is expanded for him by seventy cubits, filled with greenery, illuminated for him, and a gate to Paradise is opened for him. In contrast, the hypocrite's grave is constricted and his ribs are interlaced.
