The answer

Every deceased person will be asked three questions in their grave: Who is your Lord? What is your religion? And who is your Prophet? The believer will be firm and guided to answer, while the disbeliever will say: 'Hah, hah, I don't know.'

This is what was narrated in the Hadith of Al-Bara' bin 'Azib from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, which explains the details of the questioning by the two angels to the deceased in the grave and the fate of both the believer and the disbeliever. The believer will have a bed spread for them from Paradise and a gate to it opened, while the disbeliever will have a bed spread for them from Hell and a gate to it opened, their grave will be constricted, and they will be tormented.
