Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The Punishment in the grave is of two types: one type that is ongoing, apart from that which is narrated in some hadeeths about it being reduced for them in the period between the two trumpet blasts, then when they rise from their graves they will say, Woe to us, who has raised us up from our resting place? The fact that it will be ongoing is indicated by the verse in which Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): The Fire, they are exposed to it morning and afternoon. [Ghaafir 40:46] The Second type will last for a while and then cease. This is the punishment of some sinners whose sins were minor. They will be punished according to their sins, then it will be reduced, as they will be punished in the Fire for a while, then the punishment will cease. The punishment may be stopped for them by virtue of supplication (Dua), charity, prayers for forgiveness or the reward for Hajj (if these actions are performed by relatives or others after their death). End Quote from Ar-Rooh, P. 89 ~nR~
