The answer

There is nothing authentically reported from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, regarding the grave calling out or speaking. The narrations mentioned in this regard are very weak. Some sayings similar to this have been reported from some of the Salaf, such as Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As, Bilal ibn Sa'd, and Ubayd ibn Umayr, but these are closer to admonition and depicting the state of the grave to remind people and influence them, rather than being actual speech from the grave. Therefore, such speech should not be attributed to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him; rather, it can be mentioned as an admonition and an expression of the state of the grave.
