How can one reconcile the torment of the grave with the hadith: "The most privileged people in the worldly life among the people of Hellfire will be brought on the Day of Resurrection and dipped once in the Fire. Then it will be said to him: 'O son of Adam, have you ever seen any good? Have you ever experienced any pleasure?' He will say: 'No, by Allah, my Lord,'" the apparent meaning of which is that the disbeliever who enjoyed luxury was not tormented before being plunged into the Fire?

There is no contradiction between the Hadith (definition) and the punishment of the grave, for the Hadith indicates that the dye of the Fire makes the disbeliever forget every blessing he enjoyed in this world, and this does not negate the punishment of the grave. The Hadith proves that the disbeliever does not remember blessings when immersed in the Fire, and it does not necessarily mean that the one punished in his grave remembers nothing of the blessings of this world. The conditions related to what occurs after death are part of the unseen, and the magnitude of the torment of the Fire is greater than the torment of the grave. And his punishment in the grave does not prevent his punishment in the hereafter and its severity.
