The answer

Preoccupation with unnecessary details about the grave distracts a person from preparing for it. The grave is the first stage of the Hereafter; success in it makes what comes after easier, and failure makes what comes after more difficult. Allah Almighty has mentioned the Houris (maidens of Paradise) in the Holy Quran. Whoever desires them should strive in acts of obedience, especially night prayer (Qiyam al-Layl), which the Salaf (pious predecessors) described as the dowry of the Houris.
