Why were lying, sleeping through the prescribed prayer, adultery, and usury—which the Prophet, peace be upon him, saw in his dream—classified under the torment of the grave and not the torment of the Hereafter?

Scholars, such as Ibn Hajar and Al-Bayhaqi, have stipulated that this torment occurs during the period of Al-Barzakh.
