The Reality of Grave Torment

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that the torment of the grave is real and should be taken seriously.

It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "I asked the Messenger of Allah about the torment of the grave, and he siad: 'Yes, the torment of the grave is real'." 'Aishah said: "After that I never saw the Messenger of Allah offer any prayer but he would seek refuge with Allah (SWT) from the torment of the grave".
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَشْعَثَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، - رضى الله عنها - قَالَتْ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ نَعَمْ عَذَابُ الْقَبْرِ حَقٌّ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يُصَلِّي صَلاَةً بَعْدُ إِلاَّ تَعَوَّذَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ
