Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When a Muslim is questioned in his grave, he will testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and that is what is meant by Allah's Statement:-- "Allah will keep firm those who believe with a Word that stands firm in this world and in the Hereafter." (14.27)  

البخاري:٤٦٩٩حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَلْقَمَةُ بْنُ مَرْثَدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَعْدَ بْنَ عُبَيْدَةَ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ الْمُسْلِمُ إِذَا سُئِلَ فِي الْقَبْرِ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ {يُثَبِّتُ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِالْقَوْلِ الثَّابِتِ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَفِي الآخِرَةِ}

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ الْمُسْلِمَ إِذَا سُئِلَ فِي الْقَبْرِ فَشَهِدَ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ ﷻ { يُثَبِّتُ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِالْقَوْلِ الثَّابِتِ }

that regarding Allah's saying: Allah will keep firm those who believe, with the word that stands firm in this world and in the Hereafter (14:27). The Prophet ﷺ said: "In the grave, when it is said to him: 'Who is your Lord? What is your religion? And who is your Prophet?'"  

Abū ʿĪsá said that this Ḥadīth is Ḥasan-Ṣaḥīḥ.

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said about the grave: When he is asked, he will recognize his Lord, and he will say something that I do not remember. That is what Allah says: "Allah will keep firm those who believe, with the word that stands firm in this worldly life and in the Hereafter." [Ibrahim 27]

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ فِي الْقَبْرِ إِذَا سُئِلَ فَعَرَفَ رَبَّهُ قَالَ وَقَالَ شَيْئًا لَا أَحْفَظُهُ فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ ﷻ {يُثَبِّتُ اللهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِالْقَوْلِ الثَّابِتِ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ} [إبراهيم 27]

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "The punishment of the grave is mentioned, and it is said to him, 'Who is your Lord?' He replies, 'Allah is my Lord, and Muhammad is my Prophet.' This is in accordance with Allah's saying, 'Allah will establish in steadfastness those who have believed with the firm word in worldly life.' (Surah Ibrahim, 27). This means the Muslim."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ ذَكَرَ عَذَابَ الْقَبْرِ قَالَ يُقَالُ لَهُ مَنْ رَبُّكَ؟ فَيَقُولُ اللهُ رَبِّي وَنَبِيِّي مُحَمَّدٌ فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ {يُثَبِّتُ اللهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِالْقَوْلِ الثَّابِتِ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا} [إبراهيم 27] يَعْنِي بِذَلِكَ الْمُسْلِمَ
