1b] If the angels do not approach the dead bodyof a kaafir, then how can he be questioned inthe grave?

1b]
they are the angels who go around bringing mercy, blessing and prayers
for forgiveness. As for the recording angels, they enter every house
and they do not leave the sons of Adam under any circumstances,
because they have been commanded to count and record their deeds.
End quote from Sharh Muslim, 7/207
Thus it becomes clear thatthere is no confusion in the hadeeth, if we
understand it in accordance with what thescholars have stated in their
commentaries on it, that the hadeeth speaks of a kind of punishment
for the one who does that, in that the angels of mercy and blessing
avoid the places where he is.
All of this is based on the assumption that the hadeeth is proven and
saheeh. This is the view favoured by Shaykh al-Albaani (may Allah have
mercy on him) and itis on this that the answer mentioned on the site
previously is based.
But given that more than one of the scholars have ruled that the
hadeeth is da'eef (weak) in its chain of narration, because there is
an interruption between the Sahaabi, 'Ammaar ibn Yaasir (may Allah be
pleased with him), and the one who narrated it from him, Yahya ibn
Ya'mar, because he did not hear directly from him, then in that case
there is no reason for this confusion.
See: Musnad al-Imam Ahmad, ar-Risaalah edition, 31/182; an-Naafilah by
Shaykh Abu Ishaaq al-Huwayni, no. 149

And Allah knows best.
