Is there a Hadith concerning the deceased who asks his relatives to remind him of what should be said when questioned in the grave?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Teaching the deceased is not obligatory by consensus, nor was it a common practice among Muslims during the time of the Prophet and his successors. Rather, it is reported from a number of companions. The opinions of the imams regarding it have varied between recommendation, disapproval, and permissibility, with the latter being the most equitable of opinions.
