Hadith on Hereafter: Deceased in grave shown their fate at Judgment

Ibn Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, when one of you dies, he is shown his place morning and evening. If he is among the inhabitants of Paradise, then he is among the inhabitants of Paradise. If he is among the inhabitants of the Hellfire, then he is among the inhabitants of the Hellfire. It will be said: This is your place until you are raised on the Day of Resurrection.

عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا مَاتَ عُرِضَ عَلَيْهِ مَقْعَدُهُ بِالْغَدَاةِ وَالْعَشِيِّ إِنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَمِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَمِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَيُقَالُ هَذَا مَقْعَدُكَ حَتَّى يَبْعَثَكَ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
